the “Great People of Greater Lafayette” by the “JC.”
The Chorale provided a most enjoyable program of Christmas songs; those present, at the request of Director Gray, joined the Chorale in singing some songs. This is the 35th season of the Bach Chorale Singers, Inc., showcasing three singing groups--Chorale, Youth Chorus, and Children’s Choir. Seven concerts are presented to the Greater Lafayette Community this season. The Christmas Fanfares! a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols will be presented Sunday, December 19th, at 4:00 and 7:30 p.m. at First Methodist Church. This is the Chorale’s free gift to their friends. The adult Chorale has grown to about 100 voices from the meager beginning of about 15 who sang for their personal pleasure. William Jon Gray, Artistic Director of the Singers, is soon to complete his Ph. D. in Chorale Conducting at Indiana University. His respected reputation as conductor, scholar, teacher, organist, accompanist, and singer is the result of a life-long dedication to music and people. One of his mentors was Robert Shaw.
