Our Journey to Carnegie Hall

Twelve members of the Great Rivers Choral Society traveled to New York City to perform Mozart’s Requiem at the world-renowned Carnegie Hall in June 2025. These members joined 115 other talented singers from across the country in a truly unforgettable experience. We are incredibly proud to have had the following choristers represent us on such a prestigious stage:

Chris Bohne
Grace Callahan
Paul Cordes
Sara Crammond
Cheryl Green
JoAnn Groves
Diana Herman
Almeda Lahr-Well
John Rain
Michelle Savage
Pat Stewart
Nancy Sullivan

You make us proud! ❤️
