We are happy to announce that we have a new director for the Hillyer Chancel Choir and the Hillyer Community Chorus! Let me introduce Zachery Bolon who comes to us with a broad musical background including choral direction and education. Zack sent a letter specifically for the Community Chorus that I pass on to you:
Hello Hillyer Community Chorus!
I’m thrilled to join you as your new Music Director. Over the past decade I’ve served as a choral educator and arts administrator, and I’m passionate about creating concerts that inspire, challenge, and unite everyone who sings and listens.
My vision for our chorus is simple: blend beloved classics with fresh, unexpected gems, and always approach rehearsal as a space for learning, laughter, and mutual respect. I believe every voice matters, no matter your experience level, and together we’ll craft programs that speak to our community’s heart.
I look forward to hearing your ideas on repertoire, outreach, and how we can deepen our connection with each other, our community, and beyond. My door is always open; I’m eager for your feedback, ready to share conversation, or simply enjoy fellowship whenever you’d like.
Thank you for welcoming me so warmly. Let’s make this season one of shared discovery, joyful music-making, and genuine friendship. Please comment below with your favorite choral piece or a fun fact about yourself so we can start getting to know each other!
With excitement and gratitude,
Zachary Bolon
