Calvary
Chorale
Formed in 1973, the Calvary Chorale
consists primarily consisting of Calvary’s Adult Choir members, but
also attracts other area singers. The Chorale
presents both sacred and secular choral music with its intended instrumentation. It
performs in its own series of four concerts per year, and sponsors
another four or five concerts or recitals by various other artists.
The Chorale Series has proven to be quite successful over the past
thirty years, attracting audiences from far and near to enjoy music in
the splendor of a beautiful space. Many types of music are performed:
large sacred choral works, pops concerts, organ recitals, vocal
recitals, operatic concerts, folk music, vocal jazz, and more. The
Chorale depends solely on contributions from its audience, and, we hope,
a continuing grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, to
fund its concerts. All soloists are paid, professional orchestras are
hired for many of our performances, and, of course, visiting artists are
also paid.
