The Sterling Singers is a quality community choir whose main mission is to testify, through music, of the Lord Jesus Christ and inspire its audiences to follow His teachings. Its repertoire includes the works of the masters as well as timeless music from contemporary composers.
The Sterling Singers is made up entirely of volunteers from Utah’s Wasatch Front. Its more than 250 active singers range in age from 14 to over 70. The choir was founded in 1994 by Sterling Brimley with only 30 singers. Since 1996, it has grown in size and skill under the musical genius of conductor and artistic director, Kelly DeHaan. The Sterling Singers perform a number of concerts each year in venues including the Mormon Tabernacle and Assembly Hall on Temple Square, Abravanel Hall and Libby Gardner Hall at the University of Utah. In addition to entertaining the public with yearly traditional Christmas concerts, past performances have included a concert of Dr. Crawford Gates’ works, as well as the debut of his original opera, Joseph, Joseph; the Requiems of Brahms, Rutter and Fauré; John Rutter’s Gloria and Magnificat; the 150th Commemoration of the Mormon Battalion; and special concerts of patriotic and other music. The choir is in frequent demand to sing sacred musical selections in LDS worship services and firesides. They have recorded numerous CDs and have been the guest artist on Kay Hicks Ward’s Christmas CD, Near Unto Bethlehem.
