Episode Details

The North Hills Chorale has their 2026 spring concert this weekend at St. Vincent Hall at the Vincentian Learning and Engagement Institute. The choir's manager Tara Berdik speaks with Jim Cunningham about their program, "America in Harmony, 250 Years of Song."

Featured on the program are American favorites, including the Star-Spangled Banner, God Bless America, and Shenandoah. Tara's favorite is "The Midnight Ride Paul Revere," a seven-minute piece which has been a fulfilling challenge for the choir. Tom Koharchik serves as the Music Director of the choir, which was founded in the 90s and has grown to over 50 members.

The North Hills Chorale will be at St. Vincent Hall on McKnight Road on Friday, May 8th at 7:30pm and on Sunday, May 10th at 2:00pm. A small reception will follow, featuring a cookie table. Admission is free, and you can find more information on the North Hills Chorale's website.
