Tuesday, December the fifth, the Montevallo Community
Chorale opened the doors of LeBaron Hall to the entire
town and to sing songs of joy and cheer. The performance
itself was a bit short but what it lacked in length, it more
then made up for in beauty and variety. There was
everything from carols, to hymns and bouncier tunes
than that, all presented by an amazing group of artists.
The Community Chorale was originally created more then a century ago to serve as a communal performance group and bringer of cheer. Attendance to the group had fallen when it was re-established almost ten years ago. Today's Chorale has over twenty active members who reach out and bring music to their community.
Although The University of Montevallo represents
a sizable portion of the town's population, there
are not many students active in the group. This may
be due to the prior distance its leaders had from the
school, but that will soon change. Next year,
Montevallo graduate Zach Banks will be taking over
the choir in hopes of boosting attendance and bringing
more cheer to the town.If you would like to learn

Arts Council Here.
