Downing is a music specialist with the Newark City Schools, Hampton will begin his masters in choral conducting at Boston University this fall, Evans is the choral director at Ridgewood High School, Jobes is the director of Christian education at The Presbyterian Church in Coshocton, and Sper is a choral music specialist at Stanton’s Sheet Music.

The Cardinal Chorale was organized in 1995 by Charles R. Snyder, inspired by the sound of Fred Waring’s renowned Pennsylvanians. Since its founding, 610 high school and collegiate singers have raised their voices in song as members of the Chorale. This July, members of the 23rd edition of the Chorale will gather at Muskingum University for a week-long workshop that will prepare them for their year of concerts and touring.
