Welcome to a NEW Season
Dear friends of and listeners to the South Holland Master Chorale:
What an exciting start to our journey together! I’m delighted with the concerts we brought to our community in my first season with the chorale. The choir delivered exceptional performances, and we received a fantastic response from our audience. We are thrilled to continue our journey toward providing outstanding concerts and musical experiences to all.
I cordially invite you to join us for the 2023-24 Season, where we will explore a diverse range of musical masterpieces – from old to new, secular to sacred, and from powerful to serene. When you hear the chorale perform, you will be swept away by the collective synthesis and synergy of our voice and spirit as we give you the Music Down in My Soul.
