True Concord Voices & Orchestra, founded by music director Eric Holtan in 2004 as Tucson Chamber Artists, draws on the first rank of choral and instrumental musicians from Arizona and the United States. True Concord’s artistic mission is to enrich lives through the transformational power of classical music. It accomplishes this primarily through the performance of masterworks and the diverse music of the United States, making its New York City debut at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall with Mozart's Requiem and Stephen Paulus’s Prayers and Remembrances in September 2015, and its international debut with Far in the Heavens: Choral Music of Stephen Paulus on the Reference Recordings label. 

True Concord’s expanding repertoire includes Bach’s St. John Passion and Mass in B-Minor, Mozart’s Requiem and Mass in C-Minor, Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem, and Haydn’s The Creation. It has commissioned new works from Stephen Paulus, Gerald Near, Ola Gjeilo, Paul Crabtree, and others. 

On the adoption of their new name, Eric Holtan explains, “The original, early 14th century meaning of concord was ‘hearts together.’ Shakespeare later described the emotional impact of music as ‘true concord’ — something we strive to achieve in our music making between composer, performer and listener.” With their new album, True Concord seeks to bring together hearts from Tucson with those from around the world, through the power of music by one of America’s greatest and most beloved composers, Stephen Paulus.
