WE ARE IOCSF.

Providing free concerts to the San Francisco Bay Area, the International Orange Chorale of San Francisco welcomes you!

Celebrating Composers and Singers.

Recipient of the 2011 Chorus America  / ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, the International Orange Chorale of San Francisco (IOCSF), led by Artistic Director Zane Fiala, was founded in 2003.  Named after the color of the Golden Gate Bridge, the International Orange Chorale of San Francisco is an auditioned, all- volunteer chamber choir devoted to performing established repertoire of all periods, with particular attention to contemporary music, including newly commissioned works by promising composers. 

Join IOCSF for our 20th anniversary concert, Bridge to the Future, a celebration of our history since our founding in 2003, and a look towards our next chapter as we continue to honor our mission to champion new choral works and make new music accessible.

New live album: “Messiahs: False and True”

IOCSF is excited to announce the release of its third live album, Rex Isenberg’s “Messiahs: False and True.” Written for choir, organ, bass drum, and narrator, IOCSF performed the West Coast premiere of this brilliant exploration of messianic figures — heroic and horrific — and society’s common response to them, in spring 2022.   

Released on September 7, 2023, the album is now available through Apple Music as well as on the iTunes Store and streamed on Spotify.
