Now in its 33rd season, under the direction of new Artistic Director Dr. Patricia P.

Dr. Patricia Fleitas

Dr. Fleitas comes to the Chorale with more than twenty years of experience as the Director of Choral and Vocal Studies at Florida Atlantic University and years of serving as guest conductor of numerous musical organizations, including the Palm Beach Symphony. She is recognized for her excellence in teaching, performance and leadership and is a sought after choral judge and clinician.

“Our Spring 2015 concerts present an array of choral music by some of the great masters who define American music,” says Fleitas. “The diversity of styles will engage patrons in the kind of aesthetic exchange that only vocal music can offer.  From Howard Hanson’s setting of Walt Whitman’s poems, “Song of Democracy,” Aaron Copland’s “Old American Songs,” and other settings of great American poetry, to selections from Bernstein’s Candide, Gershwin and Porter songs, and patriotic arrangements, our Americana theme presents a program for all.”
2013-Delray-Chorale-23“This program is quite unique and exciting for us,” says long time Chorale member and board member Barry Ogrin. “It features the best of Americana, from Broadway show tunes from the great composers Leonard Bernstein and Cole Porter to a wonderful medley of Aaron Copland favorites.  It is guaranteed to entertain and make you just feel good about all that is great in this country.”

The Delray Beach Chorale’s mission is to promote and encourage the art of singing and to share the experience of great music with the community. Although their initial focus was on the classics of great choral literature, both traditional and contemporary, over the past several years they have broadened their musical scope.

The Chorale also operates a Music Academy Program, the only one of its kind in South Florida.  The young professional musicians selected as Artists-in-Residence perform as soloists with the chorale, act as section leaders, and provide instruction to a select group of talented high school singers who also sing with the chorale. These young performers will be showcased in the spring performances.

Tickets for the Delray Beach Chorale’s Spring Concert are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the concert.  $5 student tickets (under 25, with ID) are also available. Tickets can be purchased on-line at http://delraybeachchorale.org/ or by phone at 1-800-984-7282.
Special Group Rates
(15 or more) are also available.

The complete concert program is available on request.

The beauty of “O Mio Babino Caro”, and the rugged Toreador Song will leave everyone with a song on their lips, passion in their souls, and rhythm in their hearts!”

The concert will feature solos by Chorale Artists in Residence Alicia Branch (soprano), Monica Hidalgo (mezzo soprano), Myngoe Brashears (countertenor), Jorge L. Toro (tenor), and William R. Stafford (baritone).

selections ranging from Handel’s Messiah to Hanukah favorites

2013-Delray-Chorale-23
The Delray Beach Chorale’s holiday concert, Voices of the Season, will feature the 60-voice Chorale accompanied by a professional instrumental ensemble.  They will perform a selection of choruses and solos (sung by their Artist-in-Residence professionals) from Handel’s Messiah, as well as a number of seasonal favorites, including “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”, “Away in A Manger”, “Do You Hear What I Hear”, “Silent Night” (sung in German), and two Hanukah favorites, “Bashana Haba’ah” (sung in Hebrew), and “Festival of Flame”.  The concerts will take place at the Duncan Theatre in Lake Worth on Thursday, December 5th at 7:30 pm, and at the First Presbyterian Church in Delray Beach on Saturday, December 7th, at 3:00 pm.

The Chorale’s Artistic Director Eric Keiper is enthusiastic about both concert venues. “There’s not a bad seat in the house,” he says of the Duncan Theatre,” And the First Presbyterian Church provides beautifully live acoustics in a wonderfully pastoral setting. The seasonal music for this concert, both Chanukah and Christmas, is joyous, touching, celebratory, and familiar,” he continues. “Audiences are sure to leave our concerts with a song in their hearts and on their lips.”

Founded 30 years ago by a group of Delray Beach singers, the Chorale has consistently attracted talented amateur and professional vocalists from Fort Lauderdale to Palm Beach.  The group performs with an orchestral ensemble consisting of array of talented instrumentalists, including members of the former Florida Philharmonic.

The Delray Beach Chorale’s mission is to promote and encourage the art of singing and to share the experience of great music with the community. Although their initial focus was on the classics of great choral literature, both traditional and contemporary, over the past several years they have broadened their musical scope to include works of 20th century composers, including Rachmaninoff, Copland, and Gershwin.  Their April 2013 concert featuring the music of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim sold out.

The Chorale also operates a Music Academy Program, the only one of its kind in the state.  Five professional musicians selected as Artists-in-Residence perform as soloists with the chorale, act as section leaders, and provide instruction to a select group of talented high school singers who also sing with the chorale.

Tickets for the Delray Beach Chorale’s Voices of the Season are $25 each; $5 for students, and can be purchased on-line at delraybeachchorale.org or by phone at 1-800-984-7282.
