Polyhymnia A Cappella Chamber Chorus
Polyhymnia, a small a cappella chamber chorus directed by Steven Beck, specializes in music of merit that is not frequently performed. Each concert typically contains music ranging from the Renaissance to the Contemporary, a repertoire that is rare among Washington area ensembles. Polyhymnia was founded by Jim Klumpner in 1991.
Polyhymnia is always interested in meeting experienced choral singers. Auditions for our 2026-27 season will be held on June 11 and 16, 2026. See the Auditions page for more information.
