About the Choirs & Personnel
The Brevard Community Chorus
The Brevard Community Chorus was founded in 1969 by Eldon Moen as an adjunct performing organization to Eastern Florida State College’s (then called Brevard Junior College) music department. Mr. Moen, a professor of humanities at the college, saw the need in the Melbourne area for a choral program catering to the musicians in the community who were not necessarily full-time students. Starting with a small choir from the Junior College and choir members from Melbourne’s First Baptist Church, the chorus held rehearsals and performances at the First Baptist Church in Melbourne in the evenings to accommodate working hours. In December of 1969, the chorus gave its first performance, Handel’s Messiah, accompanied by Ada Cortner and Doreen Boles on organ and piano. As the Melbourne campus of EFSC grew, so did the needs of the musicians of the chorus. In 1986, the Brevard Community Chorus was added to the curriculum of the college so that participants who wanted to could earn college credit by singing. The chorus continued to grow and perform under Mr. Moen’s direction until 1987, when it moved to its current home in the King Center for the Performing Arts. After 18 years, Mr. Moen retired as conductor of the group.
In 1987, Dr. Jeff Reynolds became conductor of the chorus when he was appointed Director of Choral Activities on the Melbourne campus. His wife, Dale, served as the chorus’s accompanist. While under Reynolds’s direction, many additional fine voices joined the chorus and several European tours were added to its accomplishments. In April of 1988, the Brevard Community Chorus was one of the first groups to perform in the Maxwell C. King Center for the performing Arts when they performed Beethoven’s Mass in C Major and Choral Fantasy, accompanied by full orchestra.
The chorus’s present conductor, Dr. Robert E. Lamb, was appointed in 1998 and continues to steer the chorus in exciting directions. Under his leadership, the chorus has continued to make summer tours to Europe. The chorus celebrated the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s Protestant Reformation by touring Germany during the summer of 2017 and performing at the Berlin Choral Festival under the direction of Maestro Helmuth Rilling. During the summer of 2022, the chorus travelled to Vienna to participate in a Beethoven festival that culminated in a performance at St. Stephen’s Cathedral (where Haydn sang as a boy and where Mozart was baptized). In 2024, the chorus travelled to Ireland to participate in the Dubblin Choral Festival. The choir plans to participate in the Rome Chorale Festival during summer of 2026.
To find out more about the chorus, please visit www.brevardcommunitychorus.org. We’re always looking for new members and are happy for you to audition to sing with us this fall.
