The Dawson Chorale was founded in 1998, and has been continuously active for the past 26 years. Some of our members have taught music for decades, some have sung with many chorales over the years, some are local business people, and all share a love of singing. We welcome voices of all ages and vocal ranges, amateur or professional. We rehearse on Tuesday evenings 6:30-8:30pm, at the First Baptist Church of Dawsonville on Highway 9. We are grateful to the church for hosting our practices for over 20 years, and hosting many of our concerts. We are also thankful for the Dawson County Arts Council who has supported and assisted the Chorale since its inception.
Under the leadership of Kathy Pate, who has directed the Chorale since 2019, the Chorale has chosen to diversify its repertoire and now performs more contemporary music from the past 70-80 years, accompanied by a small band. This change has been well received and our audience has grown in the past few years. Due to the support of our sponsors, we are now able to acquire new music for every concert.
