The approximately 50-member chorus, under the musical direction of Co-Artistic Directors R.L. Rowsey and Joel Bejot, performs four or five free concerts annually in addition to community outreach and musical fund-raising events.  

Caritas Chorale presents performances of classical, traditional, and contemporary chorale music with and without instrumental accompaniment. Caritas Chorale also strives to promote choral music appreciation and education in community schools, in the wider community, and among its members.

Caritas does not charge an admission for performances, sustaining itself in part through audience donations.
