About Us
The Chorale presents four major concerts each season in October, December, March and May, each on two consecutive nights. Annually, a Showcase Concert is presented, where chorale members' talents are highlighted as they step out of the Chorale and into the spotlight in individual and ensemble arrangements. Audiences enjoy a wide variety of music including: jazz groups, operatic arias, popular and silly songs, and instrumentals presented in a cabaret style. This concert is usually complimented by food and a silent auction.
Leatherman, also the artistic director, selects programs, themes, and repertoire with input from the Artistic Committee and audience members. The Chorale sings both a cappella and music accompanied by piano, organ, solo instruments, ensembles, or full orchestra. Our repertoire includes anthems, motets, masses, cantatas, opera choruses, oratorios, show tunes, folk songs, spirituals, and audience sing-a-longs. The Chorale, also, collaborates with other adult, high school and children's choirs and ensembles.
In July 2008, members of the Chorale participated in a tour of Europe that included singing at the Lucerne Choral Festival, St Marc's Basilica in Venice, St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, and St. Mattias Church in Budapest. The trip was a tremendous success and allowed the Chorale to reach beyond its normal boundaries, connect with other singing groups from throughout the United States, and represent our country across Europe as musical ambassadors
In July 2010, members of the Chorale travel to Italy and France where they will sing under the direction of Dr. William Skoog at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and the Basilica of St. John Lateran. We wish them well as they once again become our choral ambassadors in Europe!
