The Paul Madore Chorale

Directions Website

The Paul Madore Chorale The Paul Madore Chorale has been singing on the North Shore for over 50 years! The Chorale was invited to perform in France on two special occasions.

Since 1966, The Paul Madore Chorale has been presenting quality choral music to its audiences on Boston's North Shore. The Chorale began as an offshoot of the choir at Star of the Sea Church in Marblehead, Massachusetts, where Paul Madore was music director and organist during the early 1960s. In 1966, Paul Madore formally established the Chorale as the Star of the Sea Chorale. In 1973, the name of the Chorale was changed to The Paul Madore Chorale, and its base of operations was moved to Salem, Massachusetts. For over 50 years, the Chorale has continued to build its repertoire of major choral works within the classical tradition. The Chorale has performed over 75 major classical works of more than 40 composers. The first trip, in 1988, was for the June dedication of the Memorial, a peace museum in Caen (Normandy). The second trip, in 1994, was for the Fiftieth Anniversary commemoration of D-Day and the liberation of Caen on July 9. Both trips culminated in performances of major choral works with other international choruses: Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection) in 1988 and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (Choral) in 1994.

Announcing our Winter Concert!

A Yuletide Sojourn invites you on a warm and spirited journey through global Christmas traditions and winter folk music. This festive program weaves together vibrant rhythms, haunting melodies, and luminous choral textures—from the Hungarian energy of Turot Eszik A Cigány and the South African exuberance of Shumayela and Jumalo, to the mystical beauty of She Moved Through the Fair and the ethereal lullaby Still, Still, Still. Seasonal favorites such as I Saw Three Ships, Il Est Né, and Berlioz’s Shepherd’s Farewell shine alongside Ola Gjeilo’s sweeping Dreamweaver.

This season is dedicated to our member Megan Boyle, who died at the age 36 from a rare brain stem cancer.
