Performances
The
choir usually presents two major concerts each season, one in
February and one in June as well as a seasonal December event.
In
addition to these concerts there are often several performances
at community events throughout the season.
Fees

The annual membership fee for singers is $175 or $130 for low-income.
There is also a music deposit of $20.00. If singers join the
choir later in the season, the fee is pro-rated. Singers must
be over 16 to join.
Support
members pay an annual fee of $5.00.
Members
are encouraged to participate in the choir's fundraising activities
and contribute at least eight volunteer hours.
Vocal
Placement Interviews
After the season is underway singers will have a Vocal Placement

Director and for the Artistic Director to become familiar with
each singer's voice and to assign them a vocal part that matches
their voice type and range.
