Membership is open to anyone with or without choral experience. We aim for high standards, and of course strong singers are always valued – but you Don’t have to be able to read music, and there are no auditions. The age range of members stem from 20 to over 70 so there is room for everyone. If you’re not sure which voice part you are then Christopher Wray, our Musical Director, can help you with this. The Choir performs three public concerts each year, at Easter, in the Summer and at Christmas.

Find out more and purchase scores: http://jakerunestad.com/store/we-can-mend-the-sky World premiere performance by the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay. Dr. James Bass, conductor. Corinne Bach, soprano. Poetry by Warda Mohamed (14-years-old). About the work: My sister is an English teacher at the Minnesota International Middle School in Minneapolis which provides a safe and inclusive environment for East African immigrant students to learn (many of whom are Somali). Most of these students came to the USA to escape the violent civil war that has plagued Somalia since 1991. Seeking a better life for their children, these students' parents risked their lives to come to the USA - a valiant act of love. I wanted to tell their story through music and so I asked my sister to have her students write poems about their experiences leaving their home and coming to the USA. I received over 100 poems that contain passion, pride, emotion, and vivid stories of the sights and sounds ...    less
