South Hadley Chorale in rehearsal The South Hadley Chorale was founded in 1984 as the South Hadley Community Chorus to celebrate Bach's 200th anniversary. Under the direction of the founder, Dr. Barbara Conant, Bach's Mass in B minor was performed in the inaugural year. We now rehearse each year starting in October and, in March, perform a major choral work with orchestra and soloists. Our members are drawn from South Hadley, Massachusetts and many surrounding communities.

We welcome back our director, Nicholas DeMaison, formerly assistant to the director, LaJolla Symphony, director of a Capella Chamber Choir in CA and the founding music director of Opera Cabal in Chicago, IL.

We continue to welcome new members. Our major piece for the 2009-2010 season is Haydn's Theresienmesse. Please plan to contact us before the start of rehearsals on Wednesday, October 7, 2009.
