Lake Wales Chorale
The Lake Wales Chorale has been a cultural icon in Lake Wales since its inception in 1972.
Join us for an ethereal musical experience as the Lake Wales Chorale, alongside the Warner University Choir, presents the moving "Requiem for Solace" by acclaimed Norwegian composer Kim Andre Arnesen. This nine-movement masterpiece, adorned with strings, solo trumpet, percussion, and talented soloists, offers a contemporary interpretation of the Requiem Mass, fusing sacred texts with modern poetry to create a powerful and relevant composition.
