New York, NY: Alice Tully Hall Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts "The Cornerstone Chorale & Brass is a top-notch ensemble with a high level of musicianship. Vantine's 22 singers are superb, worthy of any studio. The choir demonstrates a fine blend of vocal quality with dead-center pitch and rhythmic precision most vocal emsembles would kill for. The brass quintet is crisp, carefully balanced both within itself and with the chorus. The evening provided a message of great importance." Ken Smith, music critic The New York Concert Review

The nationally acclaimed Cornerstone Chorale & Brass is a non-profit corporation and fully professional ensemble including artists recruited through national auditions. The ensemble consists of 22 vocalists, a brass quintet, pianist, narrators and staff.  388 performances in cities nationwide have demonstrated the effectiveness and impact of this unique programming. Cornerstone's widely acclaimed program is unique in its ability to bring together education, social awareness, and the fine arts in a presentation which many communities have used as a benefit event for local charity.

This inspirational programming encourages people to live their faith at a higher level of commitment. The presentations make use of narration from a variety of sources (e.g. Biblical, news and editorial, poetry, literature), choral and instrumental music, and newly composed musical interludes woven together to focus on faith and its application to concerns in contemporary life (e.g. homelessness, tolerance, children's issues, spiritual development, etc.). Cornerstone is rapidly emerging as a cohesive force among peoples of faith in America as our concerts help to unify and strengthen not only Christian churches, but often the interfaith community as well. While presenting a theme of "thanksgiving," Cornerstone programs are on the leading edge in building community and advocating cooperation and respect among all peoples.

Cornerstone programs present themes that center on God's call for us as individuals to reach out into our own communities to to improve the lives of others and reflect God's compassion, love and grace, especially through service to those in need.
