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 & Obligations
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 Interview with the Artistic Director.

The interviews are an informal way for the singers to meet the Artistic 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.

Workshops & Retreats
EVM offers vocal workshops each season and a three day singers retreat.

The 2011 retreat is scheduled for Friday, 11.November to Sunday, 13.November at Camp He-Ho-Ha.

Sectional Rehearsals
Sectional rehearsals are occasionally scheduled in addition to the regular rehearsals.
