SOME HISTORY
Fred
Brianna
The Vail Chorale welcomed new musical director Melissa Hale in January, 2022 (see Our Director page). Melissa succeeded founding director Fred Reinagel, who moved out of state, and Brianna Petty Smith, who became a mom. We thank Fred and Brianna for their years of dedicated service and inspiration to the Chorale!
In January 2018, the Chorale welcomed Shantell Funckes as accompanist following the departure of Marilee Leishman, who is now caring for her family members. Mike Melton joined our
group as accompanist in January, 2022.
