The Chester River Chorale
Our mission is to provide opportunity, education, and inspiration for amateur singers to strive for artistic excellence. We entertain diverse audiences and enrich the cultural life of the community.
The Chester River Chorale is a vibrant all-volunteer, 100-voice community chorus in its third decade of performing in the Kent County community. Under the leadership of conductor and composer Alexis Ward, the Chorale's repertoire is varied and diverse, including classic favorites as well as works from living and underrepresented composers. The annual concert schedule includes A Chester River Holiday and a spring concert. As a non-auditioned community choir, our members range from those with professional music experience to singers who do not read music. Members range in age from teenagers to octogenarians and come together through a love of singing, learning new music, and expanding their musical skills. If you love to sing, join us!Upcoming Concert: A Feast of Carols
