Thanks to all of the people that came to our Fall 2008 concert. It was a wonderful turnout. It took a little bit longer than usual, but pictures are now available. Go take a look!

We also want to congratulate Larry E. and Charlene Lechner as the winners of the String Quartet CD Drawing. They along with others kindly registered for the drawing by filling out the guest form in the program to go on our donor/mailing list.

Accompanied by guests from the Blossomwood String Ensemble, the Huntsville Master Chorale presents its Fall 2008 concert. We will be performing at First Presbyterian Church in Huntsville at 3:00 PM on Sunday, September 28 (map to location).

The Huntsville Master Chorale invites you to their last concert of the season. We are happy to be singing at Providence Baptist Church near Harvest (1355 Douglass Road). The acoustics and lovely sanctuary should make this a rich choral event. The concert will be on May 2nd at 7:30 PM. (map to location)

The HMC is assisting in an April 22nd concert with the Buckhorn High Singers, under the leadership of their unique and superb director, Webb Parker. This evening of music will be at the Locust Grove Baptist Church on County Lake Road (just off Winchester Road) at 7:00 PM. (map to location)

Huntsville Master Chorale members are excited about our next concert in Decatur. It will take place at the Westminster Presbyterian Church, 801 Jackson Street SE (downtown), at 7:30 PM on February 23. (map to location)

We will cover a wide range of choral works: Brahms, contemporary American and English composers, beautifully arranged folk songs, spirituals, and even some gospel. We hope you will mark off this date and join us in Decatur on the 23rd.
