The Choral Club of Tippecanoe County, more fondly referred to as Tippi Chorus, was formed in April of 1934 by Dr. Albert Stewart. Tippi is currently directed by Jane Massey and accompanied by Jon-Paul Hurt. Jane received her B.S. and M.S. from Indiana State University. She has taught over 21 years at Clinton Central Schools and is currently choral director at Klondike Middle School. Ms. Massey was director of the Indiana State 4-H Chorus at Purdue University for ten years. In addition to directing Tippi Chorus and the Clinton County HomEchoes, she serves on the Board of the Indiana Extension Homemaker’s Chorus, Melody Makers of Indiana. Jon-Paul began playing piano at the age of five, percussion in junior high, and guitar and bass guitar in college. He received a B.A. in Music from the University of Notre Dame and an M.A. in Teaching through Notre Dame’s Alliance for Catholic Education program. He spent seven years as a percussionist and vocalist with the Notre Dame Folk Choir under the direction of Steven C. Warner. Jon-Paul has directed and accompanied numerous church choirs and children’s choirs and has also played various instruments for many musical theater productions in Indiana, include three Purdue Theater productions. He is currently Director of Music at St. Lawrence Church in Lafayette and is in his fourth year with Tippi Chorus. Tippi Chorus performs a variety of music and gives several concerts each year around Greater Lafayette and other areas of the State of Indiana. Each summer Tippi Chorus joins about 30 other county home extension choruses from around the State of Indiana to perform an evening concert on the Purdue University campus. This performance is open to the public at a nominal charge. |
