Chisholm Trail Chorus

Step Inside Hernando’s Hideaway

There’s a door you weren’t expecting. And behind it…music.

On November 7, 2026, Chisholm Trail Chorus invites you to step inside Hernando’s Hideaway at the Temple Civic Theatre.

Hernando’s Hideaway has never had a permanent address. It appears wherever people need a place to escape the ordinary, find a little courage, reconnect with an old memory—or simply enjoy good music with good friends.

Inside, you’ll discover songs about unexpected connections, falling in love, finding confidence, friendship, home, hope and looking toward tomorrow.

And once you walk through the door, you may not want to leave.

Hernando’s Hideaway
Chisholm Trail Chorus
November 7, 2026 • 7 PM
Temple Civic Theatre • Temple, TX

Come as you are. Stay as long as you need.

Tickets: $20 in advance; $25 at the door, all reserved seating.
