Meet Mark Plyler

Mark moved to Kansas City back in 2014, the same year he joined HMC. Music and singing have always been a part of his life and HMC was a way to jump into the community and meet new people. Mark is a Tenor 2 and one of his favorite things about the chorus is seeing […]

Meet Kevin Bradley

Travis, a Bass, is the HMC member that travels the farthest to come to rehearsals and other events. 424 miles round trip and 6 hours in the car provides a lot of time to listen to rehearsal tracks and prepare for upcoming concerts. You might ask, ‘Why does he travel that far?”  Travis was able to […]

Meet Keith Hohly

Keith has been attending concerts since shortly after HMC began in the late 1980’s.  A transplant to Kansas City from Toledo, OH. Keith has been active in HMC as a singing and non-singing member.  His first time on stage was for the 25th Anniversary Season and he is back on stage this year singing Bass.  […]

Meet Doug Hutchinson

Doug grew up in Circleville, KS, a small town about two hours from Kansas City.  It’s no wonder that on weekends he likes to escape to his farm and get back to the nature that helps to ground him.  If he won the lottery he would disappear for a while, somewhere he could most likely […]
