Many wonderful stories and reviews have been written about the Island Community Chorus since it first began performing in 1996. Here are links to several of them:
Listen to WMVY‘s interview of Bill Peek on “The Vineyard Current” with Perry Dripps. The show includes the conversation with Bill, as well as recordings of “Five Sided S’vivon” (Part 1 – Dec. 17, 2023) and most of the songs from our winter concert (Part 2 – Dec. 24, 2023).

The MV Times interviewed Peter Boak in 2020 about his impending retirement as director of the Chorus. You can read the article HERE.
In November 2018, the Chorus received a grant from Choral Arts New England which allowed us to purchase, as part of a consortium, a cantata created by contemporary composer Thomas LaVoy. The writings of Nancy Luce, the “Chicken Lady” of West Tisbury and Martha’s Vineyard, were set to music by Mr. LaVoy. You can read the article from the MV Times HERE.
