Thanks for visiting the official website for The CHORDS Vocal
Ensemble. We appreciate your interest!
CHORDS is a very unique musical group. We are an ensemble of
male voices singing traditional, contemporary and gospel music. The singers in our ensemble certainly miss the talents of one of our original members - lady tenor, Auline Nyberg. Auline is no longer singing with CHORDS, but her contribution to our ensemble will never be forgotten. We encourage you to listen to her solo features on each of our CDs. She has a stunning and unforgettable voice!
The CHORDS ensemble was formed in 1988. During our first four years together CHORDS was very busy singing concerts and special events in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area. We sang the "The Star-Spangled Banner" for both the Three Rivers Festival Parade in 1989 and later a Wizards baseball game. We also enjoyed performing dozens of concerts at churches and community social functions.
After one of our members left Fort Wayne in 1992, the CHORDS ensemble chose to disband. We didn't all sing together again until the Fall of 2004. After only one four-hour rehearsal on a sunny afternoon in September, we made our comeback debut at Saint Joseph United Methodist Church in Fort Wayne. After twelve years, it felt as though we had never parted. In other words, it felt great!
Since that special day back in 2004, we have sung many concerts, worship services and special programs. In February 2006, we recorded our first CD, "Lovin' Life." We recorded a second CD, "In God We Still Trust" in August 2007 and released our third CD, "Going Home" in June 2011. We hope you will take a moment to listen to a few excerpts on our MUSIC page.
CHORDS is pleased to welcome Mr. Alexander Klepach to our ensemble as keyboard accompanist. His is an immense talent, and we welcome his playing skills as well as his wonderful personality! We have many exciting projects in the works, so we hope you will check our website often for updates. Thanks again for stopping by. Take some time to learn more about our members on our MEMBERS page. They are a motley crew! God's blessings upon you and your family.
