Deborah Simpkin King, Artistic Director & Founder
It is our mission to extend the role of music beyond that of its own intrinsic value, using the art of music to bring visibility and expansive thinking to issues of human significance.
Founded in 1995 as an independent 501c3, the Schola Choral Arts organization has grown in depth and influence. As Ember, it performs its full season in both Manhattan and Montclair, NJ, and enjoys international recognition particularly for its work in advocacy of new choral music.
