Jesse Parker
Artistic Director

Music is central to the human experience!  Plato puts it like this:  “Music gives soul to the universe.  Music gives wings to the mind.”  By the very nature of our being human we all have music within us.  Singing is the most personal expression of the inner brilliance that is that music within.  As Stephen Sondheim declares: “If I cannot fly, let me sing.”

Let your spirit take flight.  Come and sing with, come and soar with the Chesapeake Chorale!

Susan Ricci Rogel
Assistant Music Director & Collaborative Pianist

If you are a singer who is looking for like-minded folks who explore choral music of the past three hundred years, the Chesapeake Chorale is the group for you.  From Bach to Brahms, Mozart to Mendelssohn and even Bernstein to Bacharach -- our programs are wide in scope and always produce wide smiles from our audiences.  It is a great way to spend a Tuesday evening and the camaraderie is wonderful.  Jesse Parker is a skilled and engaging conductor who leads with aplomb -- and a good dash of humor to boot!  Come and see what you're missing... I will be the one at the piano!"
