47th season recap:
In December, the Chorus sang the holiday favorite, Handel's Messiah, twice and received standing ovations. On April 12 the Chorus, along with guest dancers, pianists, percussionists and youth choirs, presented Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. It was a tremendous success with calls to repeat it next year. Masterworks thanks Corporate Sponsor, CIBC Private Wealth for their generous support this past season.
Unity, Love and Brotherhood
On October 18 at 4pm, 250 voices from five choruses will raise to celebrate America's 250th anniversary at the Kravis Center. Tickets are available from Kravis. Just click the link below to buy tickets and learn about sponsorship opportunities.

Handel's Messiah: a Beloved Holiday Tradition
This winter, join Masterworks Chorus for a holiday performance you won’t soon forget- George Frideric Handel’s Messiah. This December, three performances will take place across Palm Beach County. Originally written in 1741 and first performed in Dublin in 1742, Messiah paints the story of the first Christmas, adhering to ancient biblical text. A chamber orchestra and professional vocalists will accompany Masterworks’chorus, which has been performing Messiah for 48 seasons. The venues will be adorned with evergreens, festive decorations, and candlelight, adding a warm ambience to this magical holiday experience. Buy Tickets now

Toward The Light
This spring, Masterworks will present a delightful performance celebrating modern compositions of joy, reflection, and hope. Toward the Light will feature Jessie Montgomery's “Strum,” celebrating community and vitality; David Conte's “Invocation and Dance,” which affirms the resilience of the human spirit; and Elaine Hagenberg's “Illuminare,” culminating in a radiant vision of light, renewal, and peace. The performance will take place on March 6, 2027 at 4 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church in North Palm Beach.
We hope to see you at this uplifting event.
Celebrating Beathoven's 200th anniversary
The season will conclude with Beethoven’s 200th Anniversary Celebration on April 23, 2027 at 7 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church in North Palm Beach. The concert will feature powerful renditions of worldwide favorites by Ludwig van Beethoven, including Hallelujah from “Christ on the Mount of Olives,” “Choral Fantasy,” and “Symphony No. 9” (Movement IV: Ode to Joy). The performance is in collaboration with Palm Beach Atlantic University’s choirs and orchestra, led by Sonia Santiago, director of choral activities, and Sam Broomell, director of bands. PBA students will also perform the choral work “A Silence Haunts Me” by Jake Runestad, which gives voice to Beethoven’s anguish over his increasing deafness and his determination to continue creating music. Its text, written by the poet Todd Boss, is loosely adapted from Beethoven’s Heiligenstadt Testament, a deeply personal letter to his brothers written in 1802.xplain your call to action or hide this element by clicking the option on the right panel

Community Outreach
As our commitment to the community, we'll continue to participate in outreach projects like Collaborative Sing-alongs and Make Music Day. Look for even greater collaboration with other area choruses and musicians. Based on the success of this year's Make Music Day (40 performers at multiple venues across the County), June 21, 2026 will be the next Make Music Day with an even bigger set of entertaining events.
