The Highland Chorale, which marked its 10th anniversary in 2003, provides an opportunity for serious singers to develop, create, produce, and perform a diverse repertoire of choral masterworks and contemporary compositions of the highest quality.

In 1996 the Chorale toured Italy, Austria and Germany, with performances in Rome, Florence, Venice, Salzburg and Munich. During this tour the Chorale was invited and sang during High Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.
In 1998 the Chorale was chosen by audition to sing an all Brahms program at Carnegie Hall in New York City under the baton of the internationally renowned German conductor, Helmut Rilling.
During the summer of 2000 the Chorale completed their third European tour, which included performances in Germany and Austria.
The Chorale also performs major choral works with our orchestra each season. "Weihnachts-Oratorium," J.S. Bach, "Carmina Burana," Carl Orff and "Amahl and the Night Visitors," Gian-Carlo Menotti are some examples of this type of work. Compositions by Brahms, Mussorsgy, Bizet, Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi and Palestrina have also been included in recent concerts. The Chorale sings in German, French, Italian, Latin, Russian and, of course, English. The Chorale also regularly programs works from the catalog of American Folk Songs and Spirituals including the music by Moses Hogan, William Dawson and Alice Parker.
