The programs are always innovative and eclectic, says
Carter, 57. “Multi-media presentations and audience participation
have been hallmarks of our concerts.” The opening
concert this season was a paean to brides and the celebration
of marriage. It featured music commissioned from composer
John Rutter for the wedding of the United Kingdom’s Prince
William and Kate Middleton earlier this year. One of those
selections was the music that accompanied the bride in her
procession down the aisle. Another of Carter’s selections
for the concert had been written for the wedding of Prince
Charles and Princess Diana, the parents of Prince William. >>

Michael Carter has been director of the Treasure Coast Chorale, now in its
10th season, since the beginning.
“Members are people from all
walks of life. We have snowbirds
as well as people from
all over the Treasure Coast.
Some sing in church choirs,
some sing in other community
choruses, both here and
up north.”
— Michael Carter,
leader of the Treasure Coast Chorale
