About Us

Durham Chorale Founder 

Who are we?

The Chorale is a Triangle-area group of people who share a love of singing. Our members include professionally trained singers as well as those who have "never really sung in public" before. We regularly have two concerts a year, fall/winter and spring, featuring music from a wide range of styles and time periods.

Our Director

  • Melody ZentnerThe Durham Chorale feels fortunate to have the talent of Melody Zentner as our director. She studied with Dr. Leslie Bennett at Ithaca College, School of Music, was a Soprano soloist for the Saratoga-Potsdam Choral Institute. Sung leading roles, performed in many recitals, and taught in the New York State public school system for twenty years before finding her home here in Durham. Check out her complete bio here!
