Lake Wales Chorale
The Lake Wales Chorale has been a cultural icon in Lake Wales since its inception in 1972.
Celebrate the joyous season with the Lake Wales Chorale at our Holiday Concert, taking place at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Experience an enchanting evening of choral music accompanied by a chamber orchestra, featuring Taylor Scott Davis’s moving Magnificat. This composition, reflecting Mary’s prayer and journey as the mother of Jesus, will be performed with awe-inspiring vocals and orchestral brilliance. The concert also includes a selection of beloved Christmas carols such as “The First Noel” and “Silent Night”, promising a magical night for all ages.
