We sang two of her choral pieces at our final concert of the season!

Auburn University is honored to announce that Rosephanye Powell has been selected for the prestigious 2025 Brock Commission! Her masterpiece will debut at the American Choral Directors Association’s National Conference in Dallas, Texas. Powell's legacy as one of America’s foremost composers shines through her remarkable work, spanning sacred to secular, and from Carnegie Hall to Lincoln Center.

Today the Albany Chorale participated in the Veterans Day celebration sponsored by the City of Albany Parks & Recreation. This is a photo of the very young ROTC color guard from Westover High School presenting the colors. The Chorale concluded the program with the Armed Forces Medley followed by God Bless America. I think they liked us! They especially liked our a ca****la 4-part version of God Bless America. It was a privilege to sing for the many veterans in attendance.

Singing is good for you!! See you in August!

Singing is good for you. Singing with others may be even better. Studies have linked singing in a choir to reducing stress hormones, increasing immune-boosting cytokines and stimulating memory for people with dementia.

We are sad to announce that we are losing our Artistic Director, Dr. Marc Boensel. He has been with us for four seasons, has brought us to a high performance level, and helped us create beautiful choral music. THANK YOU! We wish him the very best. We will miss him and his wife, Diana, who was a singer in the Chorale. God bless you both!
