Ensemble Altera

Ensemble Altera is a professional, US‑based chamber choir dedicated to bringing transformative, high‑quality choral music to audiences both live and digitally. Their work is led by internationally celebrated countertenor Christopher Lowrey, and they’ve earned recognition for bold, inventive programming that spans music from medieval and early periods to newly composed works. Their repertoire often combines historical and contemporary pieces to create “thoughtful and engaging” concert experiences, underpinned by a belief in the “healing power of music” and the enduring cultural importance of ensemble singing. Beyond concert performances, Ensemble Altera engages in educational outreach bringing choral music into schools (including underserved communities), offering interactive sessions for students, and making choral recordings available for therapeutic and educational use.
