Who We Are
We are a group of 40 singers of Anabaptist background from across US and Canada who meet every year to sing a cappella music. We have toured in the US, Canada, and the British Isles and usually record a new choral album every other year. We are constantly seeking fresh ways for choral musicians to share God’s beauty with others and to sing God’s grace into our world.
Worship through song requires a heart tuned to God and a disciplined mind that is attentive to both words and music. Oasis Chorale is committed to nurturing this process in both singers and listeners.

Our Latest Choral Album
In 2024 we toured through Ontario, Pennsylvania, and Ohio and loved seeing many of you at our concerts. Our final concert at Walnut Creek Mennonite Church in Sugarcreek, Ohio was a highlight, coming after several days spent at Dover High School recording our new choral album, Radiant Dawn (pictured on right).
One enriching experience that Oasis Chorale enjoys on tour is participating in a workshop with a choral clinician. In July of 2019, we enjoyed working with Dr. Rene Clausen, whose gentle feedback was affirming, gracious, and incredibly helpful. You can read more about our day with him on our blog.
From René Clausen:
The Oasis Chorale is an outstanding choir on every level. It is comprised of excellent and highly skilled individual singers, yet the sense of awareness of the needs of the ensemble is ever present. The Chorale is distinguished by tonal beauty, excellent intonation, refined musicianship, and outstanding interpretation under the direction of their fine conductor, Wendell Nisly.

Thursday dawned both brighter and earlier than I would have liked, but our host’s fresh blueberries and peaches at breakfast certainly made up for that.
