The 110 voice students and community chorus has thrived under his expert leadership, continuing to perform music of the great choral masters and contemporary composers. Audiences in Marin County, San Francisco and Petaluma have enjoyed the Chorale's many concerts.

The
Dominican University Winifred Baker Chorale has presented concerts to Bay Area
audiences for over 50 years. Winifred Baker, who served on the music
faculty at Dominican for nearly half a century, founded the Chorale bearing her
name in 1958. A few years later she added the San Francisco Civic Chorale
to her conducting duties. For 40 years, the combined Chorales and their
Chamber Choruses performed hundreds of concerts in the Bay Area, many times
premiering new compositions. The Chorale also appeared twice in New York's
Carnegie hall and made six singing tours to the British Isles and France.
