Our Story
The Heritage Signature Chorale, founded in 2000 by Artistic Director Stanley J. Thurston, is dedicated to preserving the rich traditions of African-American choral music, particularly the Negro Spiritual. By elevating the African-American singer and composer across all musical genres, HSC brings a unique interpretation of classical music from America and beyond. Through education and performance, the chorale enhances opportunities for a new generation to appreciate this vital historical legacy.
