Bio
This spring marks the completion of Valley Concert Chorale’s 61st season. We have had the good fortune to have been ably directed by John Bush for the past 25 years. John shared his love, passion, and wisdom through the wonderful musical selections he chose for us. It has been a joy to sing with John all these years. Now, we bid a bittersweet farewell to John as he retires from VCC and moves onward his life. We look forward to an exciting new season of music and leadership. We are searching for a new Artistic Director, and the position description is at the link below. Please come join us! In the meantime, we are pleased to announce our interim director, Jerry Lenk, who will guide us through our initial Christmas concert in this, our Season of Change.
