Change of Plans

Because a number of our singers retired, moved away, or had conflicts with our concert date, we are unable to perform the Mozart Great Mass at this time. It requires two choirs and multiple soloists. Therefore, we have had to regroup and choose another piece.

We will now perform the beautiful Requiem by Gabriel Fauré. It can be done with fewer singers and soloists. We are excited to learn this. Since we are starting from the beginning, we can accept new singers. Please join us if you have singing experience, especially if you have sung the Fauré!

The concert is scheduled for May 19, 2019 at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Banning.

Rehearsals Begin for Spring Concert, Welcome New Singers

There will also be anthems, including original works by local composers, Phillip Marcizewski and Rhonert Pascual. There will be a salute to the military in honor or Armed Forces Day.

We welcome new singers to join us!

Pass Chorale "Celebration of Christmas"

The Pass Chorale and orchestra will present their annual Celebration of Christmas concert on December 9, 2018 at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Banning. The featured work, "The Bells of Christmas,"is by Cherry Valley composer and performer, Phillip Marcizewski. It is based on the text or some Christmas carols, but with very different vocal and instrumental treatment. This is the first time the work will be performed and Phillip is now working on the orchestra parts. It is a joy leaning this piece!

But wait, there's more! There will be several Christmas anthems and our traditional Carol Sing-Along! This is always a very moving way to get into the Christmas spirit.

And there's a wonderful reception with great refreshments too.
