The LOTUS Project
"This thoughtful blend of art forms, like the ethos of The LOTUS Project, succeeded in reinvigorating and reinstating one’s faith in the divine as much as in the collective human endeavor that make miracles possible."
Rohini Iyengar Vadapall, U.S. 1 News Review
Where LOTUS Began
The LOTUS Project brings professional voices together to tell stories worth hearing. Founded in 2020 as LOTUS Performing Arts’ first ensemble, it remains our flagship for choral excellence, with performances that spark curiosity, introduce new perspectives, and give familiar music fresh meaning.
The ensemble’s work launched LOTUS’s Artist-in-Residence program and helped build the community outreach and partnerships that shape our programming today. Those collaborations bring music into conversation with visual art, local history, and the people who call our communities home.
A two-time winner of The American Prize in Choral Performance, Professional Division, The LOTUS Project also performs by invitation as Resident Choir of St. Francis Xavier Oratory in Philadelphia. At the heart of every performance is a simple ambition: to make something powerful happen between singers, listeners, and the story we share.
