The Mount Hope World Singers welcomes all who love to sing and who enjoy a warm and friendly community with whom to rehearse and perform. Together, we continuously strive to grow in our musical proficiency and our ability to convey our message. We sing in harmony selections from many cultures, in many languages, to foster greater understanding of the world's cultures. Our chorus is accessible to all — musically, physically, and culturally.
Our repertoire is chosen from diverse cultures, as an expression of our common humanity. As we study the music and its meaning, we gain a better understanding of the cultures whose songs we sing, and we become better singers. Through collaboration with other artists, we create rich experiences for diverse audiences and broaden the impact of our message.
Brian White serves as our conductor. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, he has worked with the Mount Hope World Singers since 2015 and was chosen as conductor in 2017.
Our Artistic Director, Annika Bentley, is a singer-songwriter, composer, and artist with an integrated degree in photography and music. A professional musician for over 20 years, Annika has worked with the Mount Hope World Singers since 2014.
