THE HEARTLAND CHAMBER CHORALE

The Heartland Chamber Chorale officially came into being in 1997 with the appointment of Robert Nance as Music Director. Under Maestro Nance, the Chorale is recognized as one of the finest choral ensembles of its kind in the region. Based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the ensemble consists of approximately 28 auditioned paid professional singers from Fort Wayne and the Northeast Indiana region.

According to our bylaws "...the purpose of the HCC is to perform quality choral chamber music to enrich audiences of the Fort Wayne community, northeast Indiana region and beyond with a goal to serve as a professional, community educational resource for matters pertaining to the art of chamber choral music."

Through dynamic programming, we entertain audiences and provide our region with quality resources for the choral arts. We know that quality choral music makes a difference in the lives of participants and audiences alike.
