Who We Are
The CHORALE is a unique blend of individuals from various walks of life who share a love for singing and performing. The group of approximately 60 mixed voices performs four concerts during a season, and often provides music for a variety of community events.
Our Mission
The CHORALE is an ensemble of mixed voices whose purpose is to provide ongoing opportunities for singers and listeners to enjoy quality choral literature and to encourage and support music education.
"There's nothing like singing together to unify people in a group.
I love how singing lightens the load, shortens the journey,
strengthens resolve, lifts the heart and buoys the spirit."
- James Durst
