Congratulations to our very own Dr. Reagan Paras!

The New Haven Chorale is thrilled to announce the appointment of Reagan G. Paras as our next Artistic Director!

Following a highly competitive search process featuring exceptional candidates from across New England, Reagan emerged as the clear choice to lead the next chapter of the Chorale’s rich musical legacy.

Reagan currently serves as Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music, Artistic Director of Many Voices: Mechanics Hall Youth Singers, and Music Director of The Salisbury Singers. A dynamic conductor, educator, and advocate for the choral arts, his artistry, innovative vision, and commitment to meaningful musical experiences inspired us throughout the search process.

We are excited for the future ahead and cannot wait to welcome Reagan to the New Haven Chorale community as we begin this exciting new chapter together. Please join us in extending a warm welcome!
