Open Rehearsals with the New Director & Conductor of the Lexington Pops Chorus

Lexington Pops Chorus is excited to welcome Maxwell Evrard as its new director and conductor. Max will begin the spring semester with two non-audition open rehearsals on January 23 and 30, 7:30 pm, in Clark Hall of Hancock Church, 1912 Mass Ave, Lexington. The spring concert will be held on May 17 and 18. Please check our website Lexpops.org for more details.

Maxwell Evrard currently directs the choruses and teaches music at Somerville High School and is the choir director at Pilgrim Congregational Church in Lexington. He holds a Bachelor’s of Music from DePaul University and a Master’s in Music Education from Florida State University. He has received multiple grants to compose and perform his original music. His students have consistently performed at NAfME Nationals, All-Eastern, All-State, and at the district level. His teaching is influenced by his musicology interests and experiences, and he draws from a wide range of musical genres to show his students, singers, and audiences the true nature of music as the universal emotional language. He has performed as a singer, pianist, and instrumentalist in a wide variety of roles, and loves to play banjo in the clawhammer style, although some would debate whether that is performance or disturbance. Max lives in Lexington with his partner Elena who sings locally and teaches voice at Harvard, his 1 year-old daughter Luisa, and his two dogs, Bowie and Bongo.
