An impressive calendar of events has been unfolded by the National Chorale of Jamaica under the patronage of Sir Kenneth Hall, former governor general of Jamaica, to mark the golden anniversary of the choir, which has been presenting excellence in music since 1972.

The year-long celebration will commence with a thanksgiving service at the historic St Andrew Parish Church in Half-Way Tree on Sunday, April 24, at 10:30 a.m.

This significant milestone in the lifetime of the chorale, which coincides with Jamaica’s 60th anniversary of Independence, will showcase its achievements and recognise its own heroes, through its National Award of Excellence, to persons who have made major contributions to the chorale’s development and/or Jamaicans who have distinguished themselves in the field of classical music at an international level.
