History and Bios

Beginnings

The Chorale was founded in 2001 by its former director, Thomas Cozzoli. The group quickly attained local notice as it presented concerts featuring great sacred masterworks, many with live orchestra.

New director

In December 2008, Mr. Cozzoli retired as conductor and was succeeded by then assistant conductor, Dr. Al Lunde, formerly chair of the music department at Cairn University in Philadelphia.

Third conductor

Jonathan Rajaseelan took over the helm from Dr. Lunde in 2017. Jonathan has a B.A. in music from Yale University in music (organ and conducting) and a B.S. in biochemistry. Sadly, he moved out of the area in 2019.

Current leadership

In the fall of 2019, Dr. Bruce Gerlach made his debut with TLC. However, in early March of 2020 the group suspended activities due to the global pandemic. It was in September of 2022 that the Chorale resumed music making. The featured work at the November concert was Gloria by Antonio Vivaldi.
