Mixed Community Chorus

Based in Wenatchee, WA

The Columbia Chorale was formally organized in 1983 by Patsy Ford and Chris Jeffris, and directed by Dick Lapo, then professor of music at Wenatchee Valley College. In its early years the group of about 30 singers was affiliated with the North Central Washington Museum and held concerts there. Mr. Lapo was joined and then succeeded as director by Brad Miller. Other former directors include Dan Jackson and Dr. Margaret Licon.

Dr. Mike Hibbett was appointed director in 1999. Under his leadership the group has grown to a membership of more than 75 singers who perform three completely different concert repertoires each year, and have appeared at various community functions such as Festival of Trees, Leavenworth Choral Festival, and fund-raising events for organizations such as Spurs & Spokes, Mobile Meals and the Wenatchee Valley College Foundation.
