Videos of the Mary Green Chorale are below
Mary Woodmansee Green founded The Mary Green Singers in Philadelphia in 1986 and led them in concerts in the US, Canada, Europe and the Middle East with major symphony orchestras as well as in intimate a cappella concerts. She has continued her choral work in the Lowcountry with the 30-40 voice Mary Green Chorale – men’s, women’s and mixed ensembles singing a wide variety of choral literature – since 2012.
From it’s first concert on Hilton Head Island in February, 2012 - “This Shining Night”, to the exciting 2021-22 season – the MGC has performed such varied programs as a BachFest, Songs of War and Peace, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, Veteran’s Day tributes, Latin music, Love Songs, Songs of the Sea, as well as Classical and Contemporary programs of works from around the globe.
The singers in the Chorale are from all over the country – and have happily chosen the Lowcountry as their home. They bring with them years of experience and knowledge of repertoire from many different ensembles – college and church choirs, community choruses, symphony orchestra choruses and other professional ensembles. Many direct choirs, play instruments, and love music- singing in particular. They are dedicated individuals – eager to master new pieces, learning music on their own and arranging extra rehearsals with other singers as needed. They all try to capture, in sound and sight, the wonders of music at hand so that the audience is drawn to each piece they perform.
A hallmark of the Chorale’s concerts are the introductions made by Maestra Green and members of the ensemble to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the pieces performed. Concerts also include outstanding professional instrumentalists to provide variety of timbre and repertoire.
