The Metro East Community Chorale was founded in 1992. It is a federally-registered non-profit organization principally dedicated to bringing a high-quality vocal music program to the St. Louis/Southwestern Illinois area. We are supported by free-will offerings, membership dues, concert program ads, and grants from the Illinois Arts Council.
The Chorale is open to all persons seeking expression and expansion through choral music. No audition is necessary; however, some past experience in choral groups is helpful. We boast 60-70 members from many of the surrounding communities and churches.
The concert season consists of formal Christmas and Spring concerts with additional appearances as scheduling permits. The Chorale performs a varied repertoire from traditional classical, spiritual and folk songs to contemporary Christian, light, jazz, patriotic and show tunes.
Our 2009 Spring Concert 4/26/09 was a big success - thanks to all who came!
We also sang at Art on the Square Sunday, May 17, 2009, 3:00 pm in front of the Court House, Belleville, IL.
We are now on summer vacation and will resume practices in September for the Christmas Concert.
