The Cor Unum Chorale presently brings together over one hundred singers from throughout New England, who play an important role in the mission of the Magnificat Institute. We sing for Masses, Vespers, and Concerts, and participate in recordings of these events.

The words cor unum mean “of one heart” in Latin and are taken from Acts 4:32, in which it is said that the “company of those who believed were of one heart and one soul.” Our aspiration is to reflect this same unity today – a unity flowing from the heart of Christ and embracing all people of good will, especially those in greatest need. Our first concerts raised funds for the benefit of persecuted Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East (see poster below.)

Our present focus is to help parishes and communities in their quest for a deep and authentic renewal of sacred liturgical music, as a vitally important component in a greater renewal of Faith, Liturgy, and Culture.

The Cor Unum Chorale generally rehearses once a month, and sometimes more often when preparing for special scheduled Liturgies and concerts. For further information and/or to audition, click the button below.
