The Heritage Chorale celebrates its 82nd season in 2018-2019. Though much has changed over the past eight decades, our resolve to share music of the highest quality with each other and our communities hasn't wavered. Learn more about us at HERITAGECHORALE.ORG or read on for highlights of our organization.
PROGRAMMING: Originally named the Framingham Choral Society, the Chorale was founded in the fall of 1937 by a small group of Framingham residents on a budget of just $62! Ever since, except for a brief time during World War II, the Chorale has rehearsed and performed in Framingham and nearby communities.
During its long history, the Chorale’s size has fluctuated between 40 and 100 singers. Its performances also showcase a wide range of both classical and contemporary choral works. In its earliest seasons, annual productions of the Messiah were performed to sell-out audiences. Most recently, the Chorale has presented works of contemporary composers such as Daniel Pinkham, Morten Lauridsen, and Randall Thompson, as well as the magnificent music of Mendelssohn, Mozart, Haydn, and Brahms.
In February, 1988, the Chorale began an annual production of lighter musical fare – a Pops-style program – often designed around themes and with popular pieces from opera, movies, and musical theater.
