Welcome
It is with pleasure that we welcome you to the wonderful world of choral music-making! In the gathering of persons with a desire to experience beauty is the potential for great joy. As such a gathering, we the Chorale seek the inspiration that the composers of our music felt when they were moved to write it. It is a process of reverse-engineering to go from pen and ink on a page back to the feeling inspired by the texts we sing. It is our hope to share this experience of joy with you in our performances. Your presence and support give us both the courage and the means to take this journey, and we trust that the benefit you receive as a result will make it all worthwhile.

"The Chorale seeks to refine the elements of rhythmic energy, tonal balance, and shape of sound to exclaim texts which speak to truths of our existence, in both personal and relational dimensions."
