BECKRIDGE CHORALE

---

When asked for three words to describe the BeckRidge Chorale, audience members said:

"Professional, musical, stirring."

"They are terrific!"

"Entertaining, professional, dedicated."

"Polished, organized, professional."

"An Amazing Group!"

The power of music is not just in its "entertainment value." Paraphrasing Robert Shaw: music is the explorer of the intellectual, ethical and spiritual maturity of human life. Music is intended to touch us emotionally...to feel. Music remembers and relives our greatest joys, and deepest sorrows.

---

The BeckRidge Chorale is focused on quality. It's about finding and creating  music so beautiful, words fail. At the core, a dedicated group of singers who go beyond just the social aspects of singing, they strive to be the best...to be remarkable. 

---

At BeckRidge, every performance is a journey. Every piece intends to elicit tears, cheers or laughs. Our formula isn't song, applause and bow. We design in song blocks, sharing a story. Touching our shared emotional life journey along the way.

---

The heart of the BeckRidge Chorale is made up of people just like you. It's about a desire to share the best of your gifts...to create beauty with others, and not for.  It's about passion, being emotionally vulnerable, with a learning spirit. Touching lives...one experience at a time. 
​If this sounds like you, we will work out a schedule to make BeckRidge part of your life today, and the mountain top memories of tomorrow.
