Since its inception in 1989, The Michael O'Neal Singers organization has  established itself as one of the premier symphonic choruses in the Southeastern United States.
Comprised of a symphonic chorus of 135 auditioned voices and a chamber ensemble of 26 voices, MOS provides a unique opportunity to the north metropolitan Atlanta community to experience choral
presentations of artistic excellence and programmatic variety, otherwise available only by commuting into the city of Atlanta.
Through a variety of choral programming which includes classical masterworks
with orchestral accompaniment, sacred and secular music of the Western European tradition, music from other cultures around the globe, and choruses
from opera, Broadway, and movies, The Michael O'Neal Singers offers a spectrum of music to appeal to a diverse audience of all ages and musical
tastes. In seeking to provide a variety of musical experiences in its concerts, MOS programs have featured nationally known soloists and guest artists, as
well as collaborations with other local arts organizations. The singers represent a cross section of the citizens of the metropolitan Atlanta area and
range in experience from dedicated amateur musicians to veteran professionals.
Now in its eighteenth season, The Michael O'Neal Singers has established a reputation for  choral excellence that extends throughout the United States
and abroad, as subscription series performances, concert tours, and a growing discography have received acclaim from audience members and music critics alike. The full chorus has eight recordings to its credit, and has performed in some of the most notable venues in the world, receiving high accolades for artistic
excellence and crowd-pleasing programming. These venues include Carnegie Hall in New York, the historic St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, St.
Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey in London, as well as the Parisian landmarks of Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur. In addition, performances by The
Michael O'Neal Singers are frequently played on Atlanta's classical music radio station WABE-90.1 FM and Georgia Public Radio, and have been featured on
the nationally syndicated First Art radio broadcast.
With a repertoire spanning centuries and styles, The Michael O'Neal Chamber Singers
has emerged as the Southeast's premier professional vocal ensemble with a reputation for choral excellence and polished presentation.  Performing a wide range of selections, including Renaissance motets, classical masterpieces, sacred and secular literature,
and popular standards from opera and musical theater, the select twenty-six-member group appears on college and community concert series, at professional trade shows,
and for corporate, civic, and private events.
