Lakeshore Chorale
__________________________________________________________________
For over 2000 years, choral music has been inspiring the hearts of people throughout the world in their concert halls and places of worship. The Lakeshore Chorale carries on that significant tradition today and into the future. It is a diverse group of musical friends whose common interests are a love of singing and choral music. The ensemble is unique in its sense of community, and in its commitment to musical excellence and growth in a strongly supportive and welcoming environment.
For 25 years, the Lakeshore Chorale has been giving local audiences affordable opportunities to hear live performances of wonderful, exciting music. The Chorale has provided the singers and accompanying instrumentalists the opportunity to participate in performances of high-quality sacred and secular choral works.
The Chorale, under the direction of Dr. Linda Jacobs and accompanied by Wayne Wildman, has 35 auditioned members from Sheboygan and the surrounding counties. Typically, five concerts are presented each year between September and May offering an extensive and varied repertoire, including Palestrina, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Brahms, Gilbert and Sullivan, and PDQ Bach.
The Lakeshore Chorale has performed in Austria, Great Britain, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, and Hungary in four separate tours. Performances in the Abbey at Bath, England, the Karlskirche, Vienna, and the Matthias Church in Hungary have been thrilling highlights for the ensemble. The Chorale has also performed in some of the finest concert halls and churches throughout Wisconsin and the Midwest.
