JOSHUA TREE, CA — Fresh off their critically lauded sold-out debut performing alongside the Joshua Tree Philharmonic during the Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s annual FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS concert series, the new Hi-Desert Master Chorus (MCHOR) is now accepting new members to join and be a part of this unique and fun family of dedicated vocalists.  New members must be at least 13 years old and there is no need to audition.  Interested individuals are invited to come to MCHOR’s first rehearsal of the Spring and Summer Season on Monday, January 7th at 6pm, or any following Monday evening rehearsal through February 11th.

Rehearsals are held Monday evenings at the new Yucca Valley Visual & Performing Arts Center located at 58325 on Highway 62 in Yucca Valley, CA. Rehearsals will culminate in two separate concert series at the Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s state-of-the-art Blak Box Theater in Joshua Tree.  The first series, SHOWTUNE SPECTACULAR!, will be performed April 26-28 and will feature contemporary and classic Broadway hits.  The second series, SLICE OF SUMMER, will be performed June 28-30 and will feature modern, pop, and vintage music celebrating surfboards, BBQs, boardwalks, and everything ‘summer’!

The new Master Chorus is under the direction of Director Analisa Pilecki and piano accompanist and Assistant Director Nelms McKelvain.  More information will provided at the first rehearsal on January 7th.  Interested individuals may feel free to contact the Hi-Desert Cultural Center at 760.366.3777 or email the director at: apilecki@hidesertculturalcenter.org
