The ensemble's core members - soprano Sarah van der Ploeg, mezzo-soprano Bridget Skaggs, tenor Ace Gangoso, and bass-baritone David Govertsen - perform regularly with Lyric Opera of Chicago, Chicago Opera Theater, Haymarket Opera, Chicago a cappella, Chicago Fringe Opera, Folks Operetta, and the Chicago Symphony Chorus. Fourth Coast Ensemble performs with a roster of elite collaborative pianists, including Dana Brown, Kuang-Hao Huang, Mark Bilyeu, Andrew Rosenblum, and Yasuko Oura, among others. The ensemble is featured on two studio recordings; Are Women People?: The Music of Lori Laitman, and Human to Human: New Works for Vocal Quartet, both released in 2021 and available for streaming on all platforms.
