The ensemble has performed at state conventions of the Music Educators National Conference, in 1991 and 1995, the Western Region Convention of the American Guild of Organists in 1995, and the “World’s Largest Organ Concert” with guest artist, Joan Lippincott, in 1996. The group’s compact disc of Renaissance motets and madrigals, “O Sing Joyfully”, was released in 1996, and can be found in bookstores locally and in select cities nationally.  For the February 1st concert, the Chorale will be joined by a select group of high school singers!
