Frederick Chorale Named "Music Ambassadors of Ireland"

The Frederick Chorale was honored by the City of Frederick on June 7, 2026, when Mayor Michael O'Connor presented the ensemble with a proclamation naming the Chorale "Music Ambassadors of Ireland." The proclamation was presented during the Chorale's Dreams of the Emerald Isle concert at Frederick Presbyterian Church and recognized the organization's commitment to artistic excellence, cultural engagement, and international friendship through music.

The honor comes as the Frederick Chorale, under the direction of Music Director Heidi Ackerman, prepares for its June 22–29 concert tour of Ireland. During the tour, the Chorale will perform in Kilkenny, Galway, and Dublin, collaborating with local Irish choral groups and serving as a cultural ambassador for the Frederick community.
​
The Frederick Chorale is deeply grateful to Mayor O'Connor and the City of Frederick for this recognition and looks forward to sharing the artistry, goodwill, and spirit of our community with audiences across Ireland.
