Hagerstown Choral Arts, Inc. (HCA) is an auditioned, community-based volunteer chorus dedicated to bringing the highest level of choral music to Hagerstown, Washington County and the Tri-State area.  HCA was founded in 1993 by Gregory P. Shook and Ned Wetherald , two local musicians who desired to create a vocal ensemble that would perform both sacred and secular music from a variety of musical periods, styles and cultures.  Prior to 1993, Hagerstown and Washington County lacked an established choral group, so HCA has filled a void in the community’s cultural arts scene. After Ned Wetherald departed from the group in 1994 to become Director of Music and Worship for the Presbyterian Church in State College, PA, Gregory P. Shook became sole musical and artistic director, and has been principal conductor for every concert HCA has presented.
