About the Lexington Singers
The Lexington Singers have been performing quality choral music including major works in central Kentucky and around the world since 1959, making it one of the longest continuously performing independent community choirs in America. Based in Lexington, Kentucky, The Lexington Singers provides opportunities for children, youth, and adults. The Adult Choir is comprised of more than 180+ members. The Lexington Singers currently includes five choirs with over 300 voices total, including four children’s choirs, and an Orff Ensemble.
In addition to performances around Central Kentucky, our Adult Choir also serves as a musical ambassador to countries around the world. Tour concerts have included performances at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Vienna’s Hofburg Palace, the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, tours through Central and South America, and most recently, our 2019 Summer tour to South Africa. Domestic performances have also taken place at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York City, and the Kennedy Center for the Arts in Washington, D.C.
