In keeping with tradition, the Chorale will present 2 Christmas concerts in December and a Spring Gala in April, 2009.

A “Holiday Concert” will launch the Christmas season with beautiful and joyful selections accompanied by a chamber orchestra. The audience will have the opportunity to participate in singing some favorite and traditional carols as well. There will be two performances on the following dates:

The April Spring Gala, entitled “April Fools” will feature humor in music as the Chorale presents a program that will bring laughter, smiles, and special entertainment with a few surprises. This performance will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2009 at the Todd Performing Arts Center, Chesapeake College, Wye Mills, MD and will begin at 7:30 p.m.
