YUCCA VALLEY, CA — The Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s new Hi-Desert Master Chorus (MCHOR) will begin its new season Thursday, September 6, with a special meet-and-greet mixer at 6pm at the Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s new Yucca Valley Visual & Performing Arts Center.  The innovative community chorus welcomes prospective new vocalists to join and be a part of its all new season that will culminate in a spectacular 100+ musician joint concert series with the acclaimed Joshua Tree Philharmonic December 13-16, 2018 at the Hi-Desert Cultural Center in Joshua Tree.

Formerly known as the Hi-Desert Chorus and newly renamed the Hi-Desert Master Chorus, the time-honored ensemble has recently reunited with and under the Hi-Desert Cultural Center.  Current and prospective MCHOR members can expect a night of fun, refreshments, entertainment, and an opportunity to tour the all new Yucca Valley Art Gallery exhibition, DESERT ICONS.  Prospective and existing members will also get the opportunity to meet new MCHOR Director Analisa Pilecki, and piano accompanist and Assistant Director Nelms McKelvain.  Both Directors will be in attendance and loaded with information about membership, rehearsals, and show dates.  MCHOR will rehearse Monday evenings from 6-8pm at the Yucca Valley Arts Center.

The chorus and philharmonic will be performing music selections from Trans-Siberian Orchestra to The Muppet Christmas Carol, John Rutter’s Gloria, and much more.  With concerts always selling-out and long waiting lists, audience goers are encouraged to purchase their tickets early and in advance of the concert performances once they go on sale.
