Conspirare

Established in austin, Texas in 1991, Conspirare is a grammy-winning and internationally recognized choir with a reputation for "expanding the boundaries of choral performance" (wall street journal). Conspirare, which translates from latin as "to breathe together," is led by founder and artistic director craig hella johnson, and is comprised of soloists from around the country. Conspirare presents an annual season and tours regionally, nationally, and internationally. Conspirare's extensive discography includes 12 releases on the (pias) harmonia mundi label, 2 releases on the delos label and 19 self-produced Conspirare christmas albums. The 2014 album the sacred spirit of russia won the grammy for best choral performance and Conspirare has received a total of 9 grammy nominations. Conspirare's bold mission is to engage the power of music to change lives. In addition to the flagship vocal ensemble, the organization also includes the Conspirare symphonic choir (a large auditioned ensemble that performs works for chorus, often with instrumental ensemble).
