The Mad River Chorale

The Mad River Chorale has been serving its community through song for nearly twenty years. It is a non-auditioned community chorus and typically performs two concerts per year. The Chorale's primary goal is to provide an opportunity for its members to sing in a rewarding and challenging musical environment. There is a focus on education and a unique desire to see singers grow both as performers and musicians.

This spring, the Mad River Chorale will be working on a classical program featuring the Liebeslieder Waltzes by Brahms, the Spanisches Liederspiel by Paul Zoll, 4 Slowak Volkslieder by Bela Bartok and Alice Parker's Songstream.

The Chorale will also be participating in the VT International Choral Festival as host choir, performing in both the Stowe and Burlington concerts on June 12. Rehearsals for the spring semester begin on Monday, February 8, 2010. Please take special note of the date, which is earlier than in previous sessions. The chorale also has a new rehearsal location: the chorus room at Harwood Union High School.
