Join Us !
Interested in singing great classical and concert music? Join us! You will fit in and have a great time. We are comprised of singers of all ages, from all walks of life, and at all levels of musical experience. We're here because we enjoy singing and because we value the rewards that come from performing great works of art. Music reading skills and/or prior choral experience are a plus, but not a hard and fast requirement – especially if you have a "good ear" for music.
