Community Chorus Rehearsal

The Maryville College Community Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Dwight Dockery ’05, will begin spring rehearsals at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, in the Harry H. Harter Choral Rehearsal Room of the Clayton Center for the Arts. Rehearsals are normally from 7 until 9 p.m. The chorus is open to all area singers of all talent levels above 16. Music reading experience is helpful but not required. Registration and music for the choir will be available at the first rehearsal.
This established chorus of over 50 singers has a strong tradition of presenting quality choral music and frequently joins other community ensembles, such as the Maryville College youth choirs and the Orchestra at Maryville College. The chorus performs quality literature of various styles and genres of the highest caliber. It often features the music of area composers and arrangers, as well as the classic gems of the masters.
Dr. Dwight Dockery ’05 earned his bachelor’s in music theory-composition from MC before obtaining his master’s in choral conducting from East Carolina University and his doctorate from the University of South Carolina. Today, he serves as music director at Maryville First United Methodist Church.
