HOMELAND: VOICES OF OUR AMERICAN JOURNEY

This spring’s musical offering will celebrate our homeland as the United States observes its 250th anniversary this year. Our wish is that Homeland: Voices of Our American Journey will provide sounds and poetry that will bring you back home, whether to a physical place, to a beloved person, or to an experience that made you feel completely yourself. A highlight of this concert will be the performance of a new class of Choral Scholars.


In the first half of the program, each composer has carefully curated poetry that is descriptive of home in the most expansive and thought-provoking ways. While this concert is not a “patriotic” program in the traditional sense, we hope it will leave you celebrating your families, your roots, and your own unique American story. 


The second portion of our concert will celebrate musical styles that are quintessentially American: African American spirituals, music of Stephen Foster, and music from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s in the Great American Songbook. You will likely be familiar with selections such as Moses Hogan’s setting of “The Battle of Jericho” and George and Ira Gershwin’s jazz standard, “I Got Rhythm.” We will also treat you to a fantastic rendering of “My Old Kentucky Home.”


Plan to come and bring friends with you. This is a concert you do not want to miss!

Celebrate the Joy of Music

We welcome you to join us in exploring the enchanting world of choral music. Our concerts are designed to resonate with everyone, whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or discovering this art form for the first time, promising an uplifting experience that lingers long after the final note.

The Essence of Choral Music

Choral singing can be considered a metaphor for community and collaboration: a shared sense of human connection where unity is paramount, where many voices serve a shared vision. While each singer brings unique timbre and emotion, the collective sound is the primary goal.

It was my honor to have some of my music sung by the Paducah Singers. It was performed with superb technique, absolute musicality and genuine emotional commitment. This ensemble is a remarkable asset to the Paducah community.
