The Passing of the Year

Our opening concert celebrates nature and the changing seasons with music by Jonathan Dove, Aaron Copland, Z. Randall Stroope, Craig Hella Johnson, and more. English composer Jonathan Dove’s The Passing of the Year is the centerpiece of the concert and weaves poetry by Blake, Dickinson, Tennyson, and others into a dramatic telling of the joyful and poignant passing of a year.

School Choral Teacher Workshops

As part of our commitment to support young choral students and teachers in northern New Mexico, the Chorale holds conducting workshops for school choral teachers.  The workshop shown in the photos above was held in June 2024, and another was held in May 2025. Local music teachers/conductors have the opportunity to study and conduct the Chorale under the instruction of Music Director George Case. Not only do the teachers benefit from their conducting workshop experience, their many students will benefit, too. The Chorale also benefits from the experience of having to pay close attention to different directors and their different styles, as well as learning from George’s engagement with them.

The Chorale is grateful for your continued generous support. Ticket sales cover less than one-third of our costs and your support is essential in bringing great singing to you and for the outreach programs in our schools and community.
