Chorale Scholars ProgramThe Chesapeake Chorale Scholars Program is designed for talented student singers to participate in the Chorale. The program began in 1997-1998 season, and we have had over 45 students participate, a majority from local high schools. A third of them have sung with us for more than one season. Several have continued to sing with us from high school through college, and after finishing their college education. Several have completed their college education in music, and are continuing their own musical legacy.
