Parkland High School Chorale
The Parkland Chorale is the top auditioned mixed choir from Parkland High School in Allentown, PA, under the direction of Alison Lagan. Chorale includes students in grades 10-12 who perform advanced choral repertoire throughout the Parkland community. They rehearse after school twice a week, and all students participate in grade-level choirs during the regular school day. Chorale performs frequently throughout the greater Lehigh Valley, including appearances with the Allentown Symphony Orchestra and the Bach Choir of Bethlehem. Notable performance features include the 2025 PMEA All-State Conference, the 2025 NAfME All-Eastern Conference, the PA State Capitol, and Carnegie Hall.
