Masterworks Chorus

MISSION STATEMENT

Masterworks Chorus was founded to bring choral masterpieces to those who might not otherwise hear these works in a live performance. In addition, the chorus gives its participants a chance to be a part of this country's great choral tradition.

OUR HISTORY

The Masterworks Chorus of the Palm Beaches was organized in August 1979 by Dr. Jack W. Jones and several interested members of the community, most notably Dr. Karen Borchers. It was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in February 1980. The first rehearsal was held on Tuesday, October 9, 1979 at The Royal Poinciana Chapel in Palm Beach. The first concert featured Bach's CHRISTMAS ORATORIO which was presented with live orchestra on November 27, 1979 at Bethesda-By-The-Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach. There were seventy members of the chorus at that time. On December 16, 1979, the Chorus presented a mini-concert of Christmas music for the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum's annual tree-lighting ceremony in Palm B
