The Festival Singers of Atlanta
The Festival Singers of Atlanta is committed to the creation of a professional-level choral music experience that inspires as much as it entertains and engages our audiences and singers alike. We embrace a diversity of periods and styles with attention to a beautiful choral sound, musical expression and textual understanding. We specialize in unaccompanied works of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, as well as the 20th & 21st Centuries. We strive to be recognized as an asset to the cultural life of our community and region. The FSA has appeared numerous times at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC, and other venues around the Southeast.
