Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance
The Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance has been awarded since 1961. There have been several minor changes to the name of the award over this time: Prior to 1961 the awards for opera and choral performances were combined into a single award for Best Classical Performance, Operatic or Choral. Until 2016, awards were given to the choral conductor and to the orchestra conductor if an orchestra is on the recording, and to the choral director or chorus master if applicable. The choir and/or the orchestra did not receive an award. From 2017, the  choir (or 'choral ensemble' as it is called in the Grammy rules) does receive a Grammy Award. The producer(s) and engineer(s) also receive an award if they worked on more than 50% of playing time on the album. Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year. Performers who were not eligible for an award (such as orchestras, soloists or choirs) are mentioned between brackets. From 2017, the choral organization/ensemble does receive an Award.
