Masterworks Choir – Inspired by the power of music

On a first-time tour to Ireland in celebration of 40 years of musical excellence, the Masterworks Choir of Florence, South Carolina is one of the most prestigious choral ensembles in the state, known for their choral artistry and performing a historically diverse repertoire of both new and traditional music. Since its founding in 1979, the choir has grown from a core of 30 singers to an ensemble of over 80 dedicated, auditioned singers. Today the ensemble is led by the energetic and engaging conductor Dr. William Carswell and accompanied by Beverly Hazelwood.

At the heart of all of the musical performances and activities of the choir lies their mission – Inspired by the power of music to enrich lives, the Masterworks Choir is dedicated to increasing the awareness and appreciation of choral music and musicians through performance, outreach, and education.
