Festival Choir of Madison (FCM) brings together approximately 60 vocalists from diverse backgrounds who share a commitment to choral excellence. The ensemble presents three annual concerts and proudly serves as the choir for the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra’s celebrated performances of Handel’s Messiah.

FCM is a nonprofit organization that relies almost exclusively on volunteers for its operational and administrative functions.

Intellerate provided full strategic planning services to SAW from February–May 2025, including organizational research, survey development, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, strategic plan retreat development and facilitation, and writing the final strategic plan in consultation with stakeholder groups.
