The Esoterics, based in Seattle, is a choir founded by conductor Eric Banks in 1992 when he was a graduate student at the University of Washington. Deriving their name from the Greek esoterikos, "a close-knit community as well as the secret knowledge its members share," this thirty-six-member ensemble advertises itself as "dedicated to performing and perpetuating contemporary a cappella choral settings of poetry, philosophy, and spiritual writings from around the world."
