Timpanogos Chorale

About us

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
 
"TO ENHANCE VOCAL OPPORTUNITIES,
DEVELOP MUSICAL TALENTS & SKILLS,
AND PROVIDE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
FROM DIVERSE CULTURES & GENRES
TO OUR COMMUNITIES."
Timpanogos Chorale is a group of vocalists and musicians who donate their time and talents to fulfill their need to sing beautiful music and to provide quality entertainment to the communities in which they reside.
 
The choir is sponsored by the American Fork Arts Council of the City of American Fork, Utah, and has been around for decades.   The choir has previously been known by other names - most recently, the North Utah County Community Choir.  Our 60+ members hail from communities throughout Utah County.
 
Timpanogos Chorale plays an increasingly important role in the cultural life of Utah County.    It is a non-profit organization governed by a board of directors who also have a great love of music and seek to enrich the musical lives of choir members as well as the citizens of Utah Valley.    We perform three concerts a year - Spring, Summer and Christmas - and are hoping to expand these horizons.  We also invite other musical groups to join us in concert.  These have included the Utah Premier Brass, a local Bluegrass group, and the Utah Children's Choir.
 
Our present conductor is Kenna Mills,  a private vocal instructor, who has taught for 11 years, and who currently resides in Cedar Hills, Utah.  She has a Bachelor of Vocal Performance Pedagogy from Brigham Young University and is a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing.  Kenna has taught music and conducted choirs in Newhall, CA; Salinas, CA; and Northern Utah County.  She has a great love of music and a desire to share it with everyone.  
 
We are also pleased to feature guest conductors such as Dr. Donald Ripplinger, recently retired conductor of the world renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir, who has joined us for our last two Christmas concerts.
 
Our current pianist is Sheralyn Hess, a prominent  local pianist. 
 
Timpanogos Chorale invites you or your organization to support the arts through participation (singing and non-singing) and/or donations.  With your help, we can expand our offerings and continue to develop a professional program.
