History
In 1939, Fr. Joseph Emrich founded The Holy Name Choral Club, which later became: The Choral Club of Louisville (1972), and finally the Louisville Chorus (1987). Joseph Herde succeeded Father Emrich. Richard Spalding, Conductor Emeritus, devoted 20 years to this choral arts agency and made possible the 1985 European Sister Cities Concert Tour. From 1991-2002, Music Director Daniel Spurlock ushered this high-calibre ensemble and its audiences into inspirational, poignant, and emotional musical experiences. In Jan., 2003, The Louisville Chorus welcomed Maestro S. Timothy Glasscock as Artistic Director. Therese Davis, Executive Director & Pianist, has collaborated with the music directors since 1969 to ensure high standards and the successful growth and development of The Chorus. The Louisville Chorus, since the return of Music Director Daniel Spurlock in June of 2009, continues to maintain its artistic distinction under his dynamic direction!
