Hope College Chapel Choir Concert

Please join us on Thursday, March 18 at 7:30PM for a special concert by the Hope College Chapel Choir of Holland, MI. The program will include classic choral works by Brahms, Palestrina and others. Admission is free and open to the public; a free-will offering will be taken to help offset the choir's tour costs. Childcare will be available.

The Hope Chapel Choir, founded in 1938, is Hope College's premier choral ensemble. Made up of forty auditioned singers, Chapel Choir has toured extensively throughout the United States and Canada, and has traveled abroad on eight occasions. The choir is featured along with other music ensembles in Christmas Vespers, a tradition that stretches back to 1941. Award winning broadcasts of Christmas Vespers are shown on PBS stations around the country at Christmastime.

The members of this year's choir come from a cross-section of academic disciplines. While many are music majors, others specialize in biology, business administration, computer science, religion, theatre, chemistry, English literature, and mathematics. Regardless of discipline, each member is highly dedicated to carrying on the fine tradition of choral artistry that has been the Chapel Choir's for many years.
