1996

1998

From 1998 to 2002, he was Artistic Director of the Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia, during which time the chorus received Chorus America’s 2002 Margaret Hillis National Award for Excellence and was chosen as “The Best of Philadelphia” by Philadelphia Magazine.

2002

At the end of 2002, Nally left Philadelphia and moved to Wales to become the chorus master at Welsh National Opera.

The ensemble began in 2005 when Nally and a group of friends sang an informal concert together.

In 2006, Nally returned to the United States to become the chorus master for the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Nally has guest conducted the Swedish Radio Choir, the Latvian State Choir, the Grant Park Symphony Chorus, and the Santa Fe Desert Chorale; he has prepared choirs for the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra (including the world premiere of Hannibal’s One Heart Beating), the Pennsylvania Ballet, the Illinois Symphony Orchestra, and Spoleto USA.

Nally collaborates often on living-art installations with the artists Allora & Calzadilla, with scores by David Lang, which have been staged in Frankfurt, Osaka, Edmonton, Cleveland, Córdoba, London, Philadelphia, and Houston.

2010

At the end of the 2010-11 season, Nally left Lyric Opera of Chicago and moved back to Philadelphia to focus on his Philadelphia ensemble, The Crossing, which specializes in contemporary works.

2012

In September 2012, Nally joined the faculty of the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois as a tenured professor and director of choral organizations.

He was appointed following the retirement of longtime professor Dr. Robert A. Harris, who held the position for the 35 years previous to Nally's appointment.

Upon arriving in Evanston in the fall of 2012 Nally founded the chamber choir BCE, a premier group of 26 singers dedicated to performing choral music of the 21st century and drawing relationships to its polyphonic roots in early music – primarily that of the Renaissance.

The ensemble has sung several times on the Chicago Symphony Orchestra MusicNOW series and appeared at both of Chicago's Ear Taxi festivals.

2013

In 2013, Nally rehearsed Howard Hanson's Song of Democracy, which sets texts from various poems of Walt Whitman.

Nally told the student he would receive a failing grade if he did not perform the work.

The student claimed that a failing grade would have led to the loss of his scholarship.
