Carnegie Hall Again!

Members of the Huntington Chamber Choir have just returned from a rewarding musical experience in Manhattan. Maestro Z. Randall Stroope led a choir from seven different states for a performance at Carnegie Hall on June 4th, 2017. The Maestro graciously directed all the rehearsals and obliged autograph seekers after each rehearsal ended. He was especially generous with his time to HCC members which he referred to as “the sound of this group” and was complimentary to our conductor. The Carnegie Hall performance included some of our Spring 2017 repertoire which is available on our website.
