Hagerstown Choral Arts, founded in 1993, is an auditioned, 80 voice, community-based volunteer chorus dedicated to bringing the highest level of choral music to Hagerstown, Washington County and the Tri-State area. Hagerstown Choral Arts strives to increase awareness and appreciation of music in the community by collaborating with local organizations, performing arts groups and musicians. Hagerstown Choral Arts has performed in local churches and schools, and has frequently featured local musicians, soloists and music students in its annual concerts. Hagerstown Choral Arts has also been invited to perform numerous times with both the Maryland Symphony Orchestra and with the Hagerstown Municipal Band.
Hagerstown Choral Arts? performances have consistently included at least two major concerts per year, with repertoire ranging from classical works such as Haydn?s ?Creation? to lighter pop songs such as ?Feelin? Groovy? by Paul Simon. In addition to its full concerts, HCA also enjoys performing shorter concerts for local organizations and churches.
