Beati Chorum (beɪ-a-ti kɔ-ruːm) is a Portland-based choral organization with a philosophy rooted in harmonic fusion, vocal versatility, and ensemble unity. Each group in the organization strives for perpetual progression as ensembles through the outstanding study and performance of choral works, from older, established works to freshly commissioned pieces. Excellence is pursued in all aspects of the organization, and it seeks to develop both musicianship and fellowship on a foundation of unity, respect, and professionalism.
The uniqueness of the groups under the Beati banner stems from the diverse and distinct blend of repertoire they present, adaptive vocal style, and solidarity in technique, as well as the amalgam of singers they retain. Each intentionally-small ensemble is highlighted by the combination of cohesiveness and unity found in a smaller, tighter-knit group of musicians and the power and strength of a larger choir. Coming from an assortment of different musical backgrounds, singers share a common bond in devotion to musical excellence in choral music through performance, artistic collaboration, outreach, and community partnerships.
