Bradley Chorale

The Bradley Chorale made history with the selection of five pairs of siblings last fall.

All the siblings hail from the local area. The 10 music majors are: front row from left to right, Rebecca Meyer ’08 and Katie Meyer ’10, and Bethany Stocksiek ’07 and Abby Stocksiek ’09. Behind the Stocksieks are Kristin Bell ’07 and Jeremy Bell ’08. Back row: twins Dean Beever ’10 and Dustin Beever ’10 and Chris Adams-Wenger ‘09 and Matthew Adams-Wenger ’07. They are the sons of former Chorale members Lee Wenger ’76 and Denise Adams ’77. Previously, the Chorale had no more than two pairs of siblings, according to Dr. John Jost, professor of music and Chorale director.

Founded in 1954 by the late Dr. John E. Davis, professor emeritus of music, over the years the Chorale has toured the United States and Europe, winning national and international honors. The Chorale currently has 54 members.
