JOIN OUR SUPPORTIVE MUSICAL COMMUNITY!

The Santa Clara Chorale is a fantastic, diverse community of music makers. We hold ourselves to a high artistic standard while keeping rehearsals energetic and fun, remembering that there is great joy in making great art, and even greater joy when we share that experience with a community.

Rehearsal Schedule

Picture
The Chorale rehearses on Monday evenings, 7:00pm-9:30pm at Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church from the first Monday after Labor Day through the final May performance; rehearsals for special projects may take place over the summer months. We typically hold two Chorale retreat a year that take place on Saturdays, as well as additional rehearsals during concert weeks.

Audition Process

Picture
We audition prospective members year-round!
We invite interested singers to attend a rehearsal to experience the Chorale first-hand before scheduling an audition. To make an appointment to visit a rehearsal, send an email to [email protected] or call our hotline at (408) 883-4722. When you visit rehearsal, you'll have a chance to sing alongside current members and get a sense of a standard Chorale rehearsal.
At the break or after the rehearsal, you'll have a chance to meet the artistic director and schedule a follow-up audition. If you have a song that you feel showcases your voice, you are welcome to bring that to the audition, otherwise, you may be asked to sing a folksong or other well-known tune. The Chorale is looking for singers with basic sight-reading skills and vocal proficiency with regards to diction, rhythm, intonation, pitch, and tone. Please do not be intimidated by the audition process; we try to make it relaxed and fun—in line with our choir's personality!

Financial Commitments / SCHOLARSHIPS

Picture
Membership dues are $325 for the season and due at the time of the first rehearsal, and these dues include all music purchases for the season. However, there are scholarships available for those for which paying dues would be an undue hardship. We want everyone to participate so please do not let the financial commitment prevent you from joining us! 

Our Mission Statement

The Santa Clara Chorale is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) arts organization dedicated to enhancing the skills of choral singers and extending the knowledge and appreciation of choral singing and its tradition to new singers and audiences.

We strive for a quality of performance that challenges the chorus, attracts outstanding soloists and develops an appreciative audience.
