Now in their 23rd season, the singers continue to entertain audiences with a wide variety of choral repertoire from the Baroque period to contemporary music. The choir enjoys working with some of the region's finest soloists , instrumentalists and clinicians.
Annual membership fees are $90. Each singer is required to purchase some of his or her own music which is available for sale at rehearsals. Several titles will be loaned from the choir's library or from other sources. In addition, the choir sponsors workshops to help improve some aspect of the choir's overall performance. Members are expected to participate for a small fee to help the choir grow musically and artistically.
