Quintessence is more than just a choir—we are built on three pillars that define who we are: community singing, music education, and exquisite performance. These core values shape everything we do, fostering connection, learning, and artistic excellence. Together, they unite us in our mission to create inspiring and accessible musical experiences for all, making our community shine.
Who We Are
Community singing is more than just voices coming together—it’s a shared experience that unites, uplifts, and connects. Whether singing alongside neighbors or with new friends, we believe that music brings people closer and fosters a true sense of belonging. That's why we connect with people to sing in parks, sing in breweries, and create one day pop-up choirs across the city. Find an upcoming Community Singing event, and sing with us!
Community Singing
Music Education
We believe that everyone deserves the joy and inspiration music brings. That's why we started the Sing Together Albuquerque program that brings special music experiences to elementary schools in our city. This program not only allows professional singers and musicians to teach student workshops, but it also connects students to partner schools in London — giving them the opportunity to make music in a new, exciting community. Learn more about this program and its supporting partners.
Exquisite Performance
It is our goal to provide excellent choral music to our Albuquerque community. Not only do we bring the beauty of timeless choral classics, we also perform innovative contemporary music, often premiering these pieces for the first time in New Mexico. Each concert offers audiences an unforgettable experience that is committed to showcasing the profound art of choral music. Use the button below to see dates and themes for our upcoming concerts.
