The symbol chosen to represent the unique musical art of the Gulf Coast Chorale is a small sparrow flying through an arched window. Thousands of years before Christ's birth, the Old Testament spoke of the Halls of Souls, 'Guff' in Hebrew legend, a holy place where all new souls awaited their first flight to Earth. According to ancient lore, the only Earth creature which could see the new soul approaching was the humble sparrow. Ancient people believed, and some religions continue to teach, that the sparrow's song heralds the approach of a new soul.

A new life has begun on Earth!

Our Mission

The Gulf Coast Chorale is a true community chorus, welcoming all with a love of singing, a devotion to excellence, and a passion for the diverse heritage we share along the Gulf Coast. Our mission is to promote and enhance the richness of traditional and contemporary choral music through public concerts and an outstanding educational program to develop young singers.

A Bit of History

Since it was founded in 1979 as the Gulf Coast Interfaith Chorale, the community chorus now known as the Gulf Coast Chorale has provided an opportunity for literally hundreds of singers to share in the joy of choral music.

We've been offering a wide range of musical experiences and varied repertoire for thousands of residents of the North Gulf Coast.

We've had famous guest artists such as the late William Warfield and Jerry Hadley share their mastery of the vocal art.

We've provided choral opportunities and free voice lessons  for more than 60 talented high school singers who have joined us through the years as scholarship recipients.
