Paschall Brothers

In March 1981 in Norfolk, Virginia, Rev. Frank A. Paschall, Sr. and five of his seven sons came together to form their very own acappella gospel singing group. The Rev. Frank Paschall & the Paschall Brothers. Under the guidance and direction of their father and with the help of God, these young men have become one of the most unique and innovative singing groups in their field today.

In 1984, the group was reformed after the departure of two of the five brothers. During this turbulent time of transition, the group was blessed with the gifted voice of Renard Freeman. Also a native of Norfolk, Freeman possessed the same drive and dedication of the group that allowed God to continue to bless this ministry of song. At the time, the group consisted of Rev. Frank Sr., Frank Jr. Tarrence, William and Renard Freeman. Since their existence, this group of young men has been/ and are a blessing of encouragement to thousands upon thousands of people all over the eastern seaboard.

Pastiche

Over the years, jazz has seen its share of talented vocal groups --New York Voices, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, Andy Bey & the Bey Sisters, and Beachfront Property are among the names that immediately come to mind. All of those groups had two-gender formats, and rarely do you find a jazz-oriented vocal outfit with an all-female lineup; Pastiche is such a rarity. Consisting of singers Jenny Meltzer, Sandy Cressman, and Becky West, the female trio brings a jazz foundation to this self-titled debut album. But having a jazz foundation doesn't necessarily mean being a jazz purist or a jazz snob, and Pastiche is an appropriate name for the Bay Area threesome because Meltzer, Cressman, and West obviously have a variety of influences -- not only jazz vocal outfits like Lambert, Hendricks & Ross and New York Voices, but also everything from soul and pop to Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and Caribbean music. Stevie Wonder has influenced some of the writing, and so has the Manhattan Transfer.

Peace of Heart Choir

Pekin Civic Chorus

When Director Harry Langley organized the Pekin Orchestra and Choral Society in 1953, he had dreams of a successful adult music group with growing popularity. Little did he know that his group would emerge into a 90-member Pekin Civic Chorus, presenting a five-night sellout performance every other year, plus a Sunday matinee!

In December of 1953, the chorus gave its first performance with the Pekin Symphony Orchestra, when they presented "The Messiah", the famous Handel Oratorio. The group was known as the Pekin Orchestra & Choral Society. In 1954, the group again sang "The Messiah" in December and followed with two symphony concerts in January and February of 1955. Paul Wagner was the director of the 52-piece orchestra.

Pemigewasset Choral Society

On May 12, 1974 a group of 29 nervous singers gathered in the College Union Building at Plymouth State College in Plymouth, New Hampshire. An audience of 35 family members was present, curious to hear the result of six months of rehearsals. An hour later, as the last of the selections concluded, the enthusiasm of the performers and audience was tangible. The Pemigewasset Choral Society had been launched.

Known affectionately as "Pemi" by its members, the chorus had its genesis at a meeting of arts enthusiasts held in Plymouth a year earlier, in the spring of 1973. Meeting to discuss ways to enhance arts offerings in the region, two young women -- Katherine Hillier and Vivian Norwood -- went on to create the Choral Society, while others organized Plymouth Friends of the Arts.

Penn-Ohio Singers

Penna-Fores

The Penna-Fores, including sisters Shirleyann and Betty, had competed internationally nine times before winning and continued to entertain audiences until their retirement in 1985, capping a 15-year career. Betty explained their philosophy after the 1980 contest: "We love singing and do everything we can to improve our skills, but as long as we are making progress musically, the fun we have is worth the work. We have used competition as a learning experience, never allowing placement in contest to destroy the enjoyment of singing together." Betty has stuck by that philosophy throughout her Sweet Adeline career, which includes two terms as international president of the organization (1991-93). As former director of Vienna-Falls Chorus in Virginia, Betty is another of the seven Sweet Adelines to win gold medals as both a quartet member and chorus director.

Pennsylvania Youth Chorale

n the mid 70's, Eileen Finley was asked to prepare a select group from her school chorus to participate in Neshaminy High School's annual musical production. The musical, "Hans Christian Anderson," included a significant role for a children's chorus. Throughout the production, the choir parents happily transported the children to rehearsals and performances, provided costumes, and purchased tickets. After the final performance, a student came to Ms. Finley and asked, "So, what do we do now?" With the impetus of that question and the encouragement of the choir parents, the PYC was born.

Eventually, the choir incorporated under the name "Children's Choir of Bucks County." Later, as the program grew to include more students from Montgomery and Philadelphia counties, the name officially changed to "The Pennsylvania Youth Chorale."

Founding Director Eileen Finley retired at the end of the choir's 40th year, in 2017. Current Artistic Director Kelly Wyszomierski looks forward to a long future working with this remarkable choral program.

Making the music come alive with such a wonderful, harmonious blend of voices requires an extraordinary director, and we are most grateful to have Dr. Patrick Gorman as ours, a position he has held since 1995.
