The West Valley Chorale was the featured guest in a special holiday concert
at the Sundome.
History of the Chorale
The West Valley Chorale is celebrating its 28th year of providing outstanding
choral music to the area. A vibrant community vocal group, the Chorale has
been in existence in the Sun Cities area since 1983. It was first formed under
the direction of the late H. Ward Bedford as the Sun Cities Symphonic Chorus,
an adjunct to the Sun Cities Symphony Orchestra Association The chorus became
an independent entity in 1989.
Twenty-eight years after its inception,
the Chorale now consists of 80 talented singers from the West Valley, many
with extensive vocal training and choral experience. A large number of the
members have also been teachers and professors of music during their varied
careers. Some still work in that capacity. Chorale members are dedicated to
providing beautiful and elegant choral experiences for the enjoyment of their
audiences. All share a love of music and a delight in being part of the musical
instrument that is a “well tuned chorus.”
With artistic director Ken Goodenberger bringing vast experience in choral
directing and vocal coaching skills to the group, the Chorale looks forward
to reaching even greater heights in the coming season. |
