The Jackson Hole Chorale, formed in 1982, provides a forum for community members to join together to sing choral music and to provide live choral performances for the community. The chorale is a non auditioned group that is open to all adults, teens through seniors, who just want to sing! The Chorale consists of 40-60 members who present two major concerts each year – one during the winter holiday season and one in the spring.
Throughout the years the Chorale has performed a wide variety of music of all periods and genres – from classical works to Broadway favorites and popular hits. Concerts include commentary about each piece, often feature guest instrumentalists and soloists, and usually encourage an audience sing along. The Chorale also joins the community at the Town Square Christmas Tree lighting ceremony each winter. Chorale concerts and outreach performances provide collaboration with other local community musical resources, such as the Jackson Hole Brass Quintet, the Jackson Hole Middle School Chorus, and the Jackson Hole Community Band, helping foster community through music.
We welcome everyone, from those who used to sing in High School, college or church choirs, to those who just always wanted to! While most members have basic music reading skills, and some may even have solo experience, others have limited sight reading skills. The Chorale helps everyone learn the music through work in small group, voice part sectional rehearsals as well as by providing online recordings of each voice part, so singers can perfect theirs parts at home or even while commuting.
