The Kentucky Baptist Women’s Chorale was formed in 1988. The objective and purpose of the group is to encourage personal and professional improvement, Christian fellowship, ministry, outreach, and spiritual growth through music. As a para organization of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, the membership of the Kentucky Baptist Women’s Chorale is composed, largely, of women from Kentucky Baptist Churches who are active in the music ministry of their churches.
Jennifer Bersaglia from Grace Baptist Church, Somerset, will serve as conductor for this season. Jennifer has been our accompanist for several years, and we are looking forward to her leadership. Gina Harmon from Rich Pond Baptist Church, Bowling Green, will serve as our accompanist. Gina has severed as the accompanist for the KBC Children’s Choir since 2017.
This all-male chorus was formed in 1965 by Kentucky Baptists’ first state music director, Eugene Quinn. It has a musical and spiritual legacy from hundreds of music ministers.
The chorale has appeared before the Southern Baptist Church Music Conference, Church Music Week at Lifeway’s Ridgecrest Conference Center, and at Musicians on Mission workshops in Ohio and Massachusetts. The group also has toured in Europe and served on mission in New England, Kenya, Brazil, and Russia. In 2015, the chorale spent a week in the rainforests of Brazil doing missions work and performing.
