We are happy to announce that our search for a new Artistic Director is complete. Ms. Keely Rhodes has been chosen to be our new leader. Keely is a mezzo-soprano who received a Bachelor’s of Music degree from Oberlin Conservatory and a Master’s and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees from the University of Texas in Austin. In academia, Dr. Rhodes has served as a director of choirs, head of vocal studies, and an assistant professor of music. She has also had the honor of serving as a Fulbright scholar to Italy in 2006-2007. She joined USC-Aiken as an Assistant Professor of Music in 2019. Keely also teaches private voice lessons, performs as a soloist and collaborative artist for choral, chamber, and symphonic groups and as an opera singer in the United States, Europe, Central America, and South America.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 virus, we will not be holding our weekly rehearsals for the next several weeks. Scheduled performances may also be postponed or canceled.

Take a look at this gallery of pictures taken by Bruce Haslam at our concert, “Let All Men Sing”.

We had a wonderful concert on May 12, Mother’s Day!  Everyone seemed to enjoy the music and we have received many, many favorable comments. Thanks to Diane Haslam’s guidance and support, we continue to improve and are looking ahead to even more of the same next season.

Here’s a link to a YouTube playlist of the full recording taken at the performance.  Check out the concert page under the Music tab above to get links to the individual songs.
