09 Feb 2026 Conway Men’s Chorus invites new participants, prepares for May Concert

The Conway Men’s Choruswill present its annual Spring Pops Concert at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, in Reynolds Performance Hall on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. Admission and parking are free again this season. 

The 65-plus member Conway Men’s Chorus accepts men of all ages, musical knowledge and abilities. If you have a desire to sing, the Chorus rehearses from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday nights at Woodland Heights Baptist Church in Conway. Due to renovation work at the church this Spring, check the Conway Men’s Chorus Facebook page for more information in the next few weeks as to the specific rehearsal space on the church’s campus.

An hour-long concert will be presented as the men’s gift to the community and will feature a wide variety of music, from sacred to contemporary, and from pop to patriotic. It will include the beautiful perennial favorite “Be Still My Soul,” an inspirational new version of the beloved “Amazing Grace,” a mysterious version of the “James Bond Theme,” a unique version of Bob Dylan’s classic “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” a toe-tapping gospel version of “This Little Light of Mine,” the American classic “Shenandoah,” and a fun song called “No More Sailor Songs.”

Since the Fall of 1998, men of the Conway area have joined together to present a gift of song, free of charge, twice a year to fulfill the overall mission of the Conway Men’s Chorus: To provide the Conway area with the best in men’s choral music expertly performed under skilled leadership and direction, and to help enrich lives by demonstrating and fostering a love of music. This concert marks 28 years of singing. Since starting in 1998, the Chorus has sung more than 250 songs at 50 concerts, featuring more than 365 men from the Conway area. With no audition requirement, chorus members have been men from high school age to their 80s, with a wide range of musical abilities and knowledge, from all walks of life, all races, all beliefs, and various fields of past and present employment. Simply, they have been, and still are, men who love to sing in various church choirs and area chorus ensembles and want to give the joy of music to their community.
