What’s next for Huntsville Master Chorale

59547090 2683659005038506 3263262713517703168 n — Huntsville Master Chorale will sponsor a choral festival June 4 at Trinity Methodist Church. (Huntsville Master Chorale via Facebook)

HMC is also sponsoring a first for Huntsville: a choral festival, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” bringing together 100 voices from the community to sing with Dr. Jason Ferdinand, the internationally known conductor of the local Aeolians at Oakwood University.

Singers will rehearse with Dr. Ferdinand and then present a concert with orchestra for the public June 4 at 5:30PM at Trinity United Methodist Church.

These performances by the HMC will close out the season for the group, which has had to limit live performances amid the coronavirus pandemic. Being able to perform live again has the vocalists and local music lovers ready to hear some good live performances.

“Folks are hungry for live arts performances, and both of these weekends offer exciting choral music and are not ticketed events.”
Linda McAllister, founding member, Huntsville Master Chorale
