The live experience

What reaches the room

A Shaw Choral Celebration is a performer page dedicated to a distinguished choral presentation born from the legacy of Robert Shaw, a pivotal figure in American choral music. The Shaw centennial programming, conducted by Norman Mackenzie, brought together the ASO Chorus, ASO Chamber Chorus, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for a series of landmark performances. While today there may not be a current 2025 tour under this exact title, the repertoire and influence remain a cornerstone of American choral literature. Explore the biography, discography highlights, and notable past performances that celebrate Shaw’s enduring influence in Atlanta and beyond.
