Mixed Community Chorus

Based in Hagerstown, MD

Hagerstown Choral Arts, Inc. (HCA) is an auditioned, community-based, volunteer chorus dedicated to bringing the highest level of choral music to Hagerstown, Washington County, and the Tri-State area.

HCA was founded in 1993 by Gregory P. Shook and Ned Wetherald, local musicians who desired to create a vocal ensemble that would perform both sacred and secular music from a variety of musical periods, styles, and cultures.

Hagerstown Choral Arts continues to grow in size, skill, and variety of musical offerings. HCA has continued to hold an average of 60 members each season. Under Mr. Shook's careful direction, HCA furthers its goal to increase awareness and appreciation of music in the community by collaborating with local organizations, performing arts groups, and musicians.

HCA performs in local churches, and other community venues, featuring local musicians, soloists, and music students in its concerts. Being invited to perform with both the Maryland Symphony Orchestra and the Hagerstown Municipal Band, HCA continues to reach a broad section of our community, performing music that some may hear for the first time during these performances.

Founded - 1993.   Auditioned.
