~ Welcome ~
Hello, music lover and welcome to the website for the Moreno Valley Master Chorale. The chorale is the "Official Choral Ambassador" for the City of Moreno Valley. We were founded in 1986 to provide a creative outlet for local singers.
The Chorale presents three major concerts annually. We actively participate in many city sponsored events, including singing the National Anthem at the first City Council meeting of the year for the past five years. We are proud to be a member of the Moreno Valley Chamber of Commerce. In addition to performing in the City of Moreno Valley, we are active in the Inland Empire musical scene. We have performed with the San Bernardino Symphony, at the Redlands Bowl, with the Loma Linda Symphony Orchestra, and in Palm Springs.
~ What's New at MVMC ~
- The Chorale has had a busy Christmas season with performances at the Creche Festival, Palm Springs Messiah Sing, and a Christmas concert. Our concert celebrated the season in song from the Middle Ages through the 20th century with musicological commentary by Dr. Viorel Gheorghe. Four of this year's interns were showcased, "wowing" the audience with their talent.
- On January 3rd, the Encore Group sang the National Anthem at the Moreno Valley City Council meeting for the installation of Mayor Richard Stewart and Mayor Pro-tem William Batey Jr.
- The first rehearsal of the New Year was January 9th. We are working on spirituals and folk songs for a concert on February 26th. Then it's on to Pergolessi's "Stabat Mater" for an April concert at Claremont Graduate University. Broadway show tunes will be presented at the June concert.
- New singers are always welcome. We rehearse on Monday evenings at 7:00 pm at the Valley View High School Choir Room. When Valley View is closed due to school holidays, rehearsals are held at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church.
