Introducing The Wheatland Chorale Festival Singers
Starting in the 2024-2025 season, the Festival Singers is a new choir under the Wheatland Chorale. The goal is to create a large symphonic choir (around 90 singers) to perform works with full orchestra.
The choir will be prepared by David J. Fitzpatrick, Artistic Director of the Wheatland Chorale and Mark Naimoli, Associate Director of the Wheatland Chorale.
Due to the limited amount of rehearsals, singers will need to spend time outside of rehearsals learning their part.
Rehearsal aides will be provided.
