Details
Members hail from Highland, Troy, St. Rose, Trenton, Greenville, St. Jacob, Columbia, Pocahontas, Edwardsville, and Pierron. The chorus, beginning its seventh season, is directed by Luanne Murphy. Three concerts per year are presented by the group.

Singers over the age of sixteen are welcome to join the chorus. At this time, tenors and basses are particularly needed. Altos and sopranos are welcome to audition, but may be put on a waiting list. Auditions will be held in the Choir Room in St. Paul Hall, 1412 Ninth Street in Highland, on Friday, August 30th from 6:00-8:00p.m., and on Saturday, August 31st from 10:00a.m. to noon. If you cannot make either of those dates, please contact Luanne Murphy, Artistic Director, to arrange an appointment at 618.791.8408.

For your audition, you will be asked to sing a song of your choice, with piano accompaniment. You may choose a hymn, art song, patriotic song, or Broadway selection; it does not have to be memorized. An accompanist will be provided. Please bring two copies of your music. You will also be asked to sing some five-note scales to check your range, and to match some pitch patterns. For your convenience, there will be copies available for your use of a few standard selections (such as “Amazing Grace”, “America”, “God Bless America”).

Chorus rehearsals are on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30p.m at St. Paul Church, 1412 Ninth Street, Highland, IL. The first rehearsal is September 9th, the Monday after Labor Day. If you have any questions, please contact Luanne at 618.791.8408.

The mission of the Heartland Community Chorus is to promote and preserve the tradition of choral music for the cultural enrichment of the Metro East Region.
