Salt Lake Choral Artists thanks the voters of Salt Lake County for their support of the Zoo, Arts & Parks program.





Salt Lake Choral Artists (SLCA) is a community choir that consists of three groups - a large concert choir of 174 voices, a chamber choir of 52 voices, and a women's choir of 81 voices. SLCA offers four or five concerts every season, performed in the Libby Gardner Concert Hall at the University of Utah.

SLCA continues a tradition of superb choral singing that began as the Jay Welch Chorale, one of the Wasatch Front's most popular choirs for over 20 years. Dr. Brady R. Allred was appointed as artistic director in the summer of 2004 and the organization took on a new mission and name.
