Lubbock Chorale

The Lubbock Civic Chorale began in September 1976, following numerous enthusiastic performances by a "sing-along" group during the city's Bicentennial celebration. That first group was only a handful of singers who had a dream of creating choral excellence on the South Plains. Over the years, the group grew to a viable force in Lubbock. It successfully performed the works of such composers as Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Brahms. Most of these were accompanied by piano until the spring of 1985, when the Chorale was asked to perform with the Texas Tech University choirs and the University Symphony Orchestra in the annual Scholarship Concerts.

Following the 1987 Scholarship Concert, efforts were made to form a union between the civic and university forces. The Lubbock Civic Chorale and the Texas Tech Choral Union merged into the University-Civic Chorale to provide musical interaction between Tech's college students, faculty and staff and singers in the community. The result has been outstanding as the Chorale continues to act as an independent musical organization with both youthful enthusiasm and mature aspirations.

The combined forces created a chorale of substantial size, able to perform many of the major choral works with full orchestral accompaniment. Included in the chorale's recent repertoire are such works as G.F. Handel's Messiah and contemporary works such as Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, Karl Orff's Carmina Burana, Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man: a Mass for Peace, and Bethoven's monumental Ninth Symphony.

The ensemble changed its name to The Lubbock Chorale in October 1992 and has steadily and consistently grown in stature and reputation to become a viable artistic force in the South Plains. Concert seasons now regularly include the presentation of choral masterworks with full symphony orchestra. Realizing its educational vision and mission, the Chorale also provides between 10-15 scholarships to music students each year. An internal body of participating members called the Administrative Council governs the Lubbock Chorale, and a vitally active Board of Directors guides the organization in development and community relations.

In 2008 Dr. John Hollins was named Artistic Director of The Lubbock Chorale. With exciting new initiatives in advocacy, outreach, and education, the Chorale looks forward to continuing its tradition of presenting unique choral programs and artistic experiences to the Lubbock Community.

The core ensemble is a SSAA group of twelve talented singers. The Magi Ensemble works to perform and record compositions from the Baltic region that are rarely heard outside of that area and to be an ambassador of the power of music in inter-cultural dialogue and identity.

The focus on Baltic music stems from the strong relationship between the choral department and the Baltic studies department at the University of Washington. This relationship helped establish the UW Baltic Choral Library, the first of it's kind in the United States. During her time at the UW, Heather MacLaughlin Garbes was asked to help organize this collection and that started her great interest in not only Baltic choral music, but also the use of music in political identity.

Mainely Music Chorus

One summer night in 1972, three wandering Barbershoppers met in the old Bangor House. This meeting occurred because of a yearning to once again enjoy a special four-part music.

Thus began a performing group originally named "The Penobscot County Chapter of Barbershoppers."
