What is the Magic Valley Chorale
The Magic Valley Chorale
The MAGIC VALLEY CHORALE had its inception as early as 1958 with a presentation of the Messiah under the sponsorship of the Twin Falls Music Club. Roger Vincent again directed “A Chorus of Magic Valley Singers” with Teala Bellini at the piano, in annual performances of the Messiah subsequently sponsored by the Magic Valley Council of Churches and the Twin Falls Ministerial Association.
In February of 1973 the Magic Valley Chorale was officially formed, and a board of nine directors was elected. Roger Vincent was President and directed the Chorale for its first five years. In 1978 the Chorale became associated with the College of Southern Idaho.
The Chorale is dedicated to the promotion of a wide variety of choral music, with two concerts of major choral literature yearly, first in the spring and then at Christmas.
