Delray Beach Chorale
The Delray Beach Chorale has been performing choral music in the South Palm Beach County area since 1982. At that time, a number of Delray Beach residents, determined to organize a South Palm Beach County community chorus in order to perform choral masterpieces at the highest artistic level, established the Delray Beach Chorale. The Delray Beach Chorale attracts qualified and dedicated volunteer singers with solid musical backgrounds and draws its soloists from the wealth of talented professional singers in South Florida, and has, from its earliest years of operation, performed with an orchestra consisting mostly of principal players from the former Florida Philharmonic. The Chorale has approximately 70 members, with slight variations from concert to concert, and performs two major programs a year - winter and spring.
The Delray Beach Chorale's mission is to promote and encourage the art of singing and to share the experience of great music with the community.
The Chorale rehearses and gives its main performances at the First Presbyterian Church on Gleason Street in Delray Beach. Although the Chorale is based in a church, it has no religious affiliation and welcomes singers of all faiths and age groups.
