From a modest beginning
in 1971, with a handful of dedicated volunteers singing occasionally
in Sunday services, the Fort Street Chorale has grown into a cohesive,
well-organized, musically proficient, 90-plus- member, nonprofessional
group, which has received widespread acclaim. The Chorale participates
regularly in worship services at Fort Street Presbyterian Church and
presents major choral works in public concert. Since 1979, the Chorale
has performed Handel's Messiah annually to large audiences. The Fort
Street Chorale was featured in the award-winning documentary, "Miracle
on Fort Street," shown on public television in 1984 and rebroadcast
many times since.
The Chorale is a non-profit organization
which supports itself mostly through ticket sales – and all amounts
paid over $12 per ticket are tax-deductible. Also, non-singing volunteers
always are welcome to lend their support to this fine organization. |
