The Carolina Master Chorale (CMC) will wrap-up its 41st season of performing on the Grand Strand with a concert paying tribute to eight local “heroes” from different walks of life “whose passions and efforts have made our corner of the world a better place,” according to Music Director Tim Koch. The eight honorees will have their stories told in brief, and will be celebrated by CMC with a personalized choral performance selected specifically for them, touting their individual accomplishments. According to Rebecca Donevant, Executive Director, the “Heroes” motif  “is the brainchild of Dr. Koch, who wanted to feature and honor local community ‘heroes’ and give the CMC and our audience a way to say thank you!”  She explains, “Unless he speaks with them ahead of time, the music will be a surprise for them at the concert.” The CMC is a 501(C)3 Nonprofit Arts Organization. Trinity United Methodist Church, 706 14th Ave. S., North Myrtle Beach, Saturday, 4 p.m.; First Presbyterian Church, 3810 Robert M. Grissom Pkwy., Myrtle Beach, Sunday, 4 p.m. $25.
