history
Since its debut in Feburary 2009, SACRA / PROFANA has rapidly been gaining a reputation as an exciting new voice in American choral music. The 24-voice ensemble specializes in a unique blend of classic and contemporary styles, with a repertoire including everything from Schoenberg and The Smashing Pumpkins to Leonard Cohen and Ligeti. SACRA / PROFANA continues to defy genre classification, collaborating with Art of Élan, electroclash act HYENA, Orchestra Nova, and musicians from the San Diego Symphony at Club Anthology.
mission
Our mission is to provide San Diegans with increased opportunities to experience great choral music, both classic and contemporary, in an intimate and relaxed environment. SACRA/PROFANA is enthusiastically committed to attracting new audiences by presenting dynamic and visually engaging performances in innovative venues. While adhering to the highest artistic standards, we nevertheless recognize the need for fun and adventurous programming and a rewarding, entertaining experience for the less experienced concertgoer. We are dedicated to promoting the living choral tradition, while breathing new life into timeless masterpieces.
