Winter 2022 Update

To our beloved Masterworks Chorale community,

Greetings and welcome to our 2021-2022 season! The Chorale has been strongly impacted this season by the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to cancel our November 2021 and March 2022 concerts. Also, our annual Messiah Sing last December was once again reimagined on Zoom. I am pleased to report we were able to re-start rehearsals last fall. However, with the recent omicron surge, we are now back to Zoom rehearsals through February 2022.

We now plan to return to in-person rehearsals starting March 2022, and plan to hold our spring concert on May 15, 2022 at Old South Church performing Gabriel Faure’s Requiem and works by William Grant Still. This concert will be dedicated in memory of those that have passed due to COVID infection.

We look forward to seeing you face to face as soon as we can so that we may nurture our souls in the splendor of live choral music!

Best regards,

Jack Ward, President of Masterworks Chorale
