Conspirare is a choral organization and nonprofit that believes in the power of music to change lives, inspire peace, and foster belonging. Conspirare was established in 1991 in Austin, Texas, by Craig Hella Johnson and dedicated supporters. Conspirare shares the gift of singing through:

• Conspirare: A Company of Voices 
  Our GRAMMY®-winning professional choir that performs, records, and teaches.
• Conspirare Symphonic Choir
  Our choir of Austin-based, auditioned musicians perform great choral masterworks and new music for voices and instruments.
• Conspirare Artist Citizen Choral Collective Our choir of Austin-based music educators and singers co-create a choral culture through exploration of a variety of music and vocal sounds, community involvement, engaging rehearsals, and high-level performance.
• Music in Schools Our musicians inspire and uplift choir students and their teachers at diverse middle and high schools through master classes and free performances.
• Big Sing Free community singing opportunities in public spaces.
