The International Orange Chorale of San Francisco (IOCSF) is an auditioned all-volunteer chamber choir devoted to performing established repertoire of all periods, with particular attention to 20th-century music—including newly commissioned works of promising composers. Since its inception, the group has been committed to performing free concerts featuring challenging and imaginative choral a cappella programming. The ensemble is based in San Francisco. Origins and management The group was founded in 2003 by Jeremy Faust, Elaine Robertson and Cole Thomason-Redus and continued under the direction of Jeremy Faust. Several IOCSF members have conducted selected pieces. In 2007, after having conducted several pieces each season as a member of the group in 2006 and 2005, Paul Kim joined Jeremy Faust as co-director. During the 2007-2008 season, choir member Zane Fiala also conducted several pieces; Fiala became co-director as of the 2008/2009 season, joining Faust upon Kim's departure from the San Francisco Bay Area. Fiala now directs and conducts the group, while Faust maintains a role as Director of Artistic Outreach. The ensemble is named after International orange, the official color of the Golden Gate Bridge Publishing, premieres and other programming In 2011, IOCSF launched a new choral music publishing series partnership with Santa Barbara Music Publishing, with the release of "Peace," by Aaron Pike.
