The Santa Clara Chorale is a fantastic community of music making. 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.

The Chorale rehearses on Monday evenings, 7:30pm-10:00pm from the first Monday after Labor Day to the beginning of June. Rehearsals are held in the Bethel Korean United Methodist Church (1700 Lincoln Street, Santa Clara).

No straight people will be turned away from auditioning for the Queer Chorus of San Francisco!

Formerly known as the Lesbian/Gay Chorus of San Francisco, QCSF (Sven Edward Olbash, artistic director) is excited to welcome singers of all genders, sexual orientations, and abilities throughout the month of September to audition to perform with us in one of three ways:

*regular chorus (intermediate level singers)

*solos and small ensembles (advanced intermediate singers)

*festival chorus (all levels)

San Francisco-based Resound Ensemble is holding auditions for all voice parts, especially basses, on Wednesday, August 17th, 7:00-9:00. We present a wide range of styles of music each season, from 15th century pieces to new works, based around a unifying theme. We place a big value on community, and enjoy musical & non-musical activities together throughout each season.  Rehearsals are on Wednesday nights, from 7:00-9:30, in Noe Valley, easily accessible by BART, MUNI trains & buses.

Tenors and basses are especially encouraged to audition! (Limited space for sopranos and altos.)

The San Francisco Bach Choir – Magen Solomon, Artistic Director – offers dedicated singers the opportunity to study and perform both Early Music and the diverse repertoire of great works from other eras and genres. We use historically informed performance practice, and perform with world-class professional instrumentalists and soloists, both period and modern.

Consider joining a happy, innovative, 20-voice chamber choir that excels in eclectic programming and exciting and refined performances of (mostly) a cappella repertoire.  Under the direction of Magen Solomon, San Francisco Choral Artists (SFCA) are a Bay Area chamber choir with a mission to foster new American choral music and to present eclectic, imaginative programs consisting of both new works and repertoire spanning 600 years in performances of uncompromisingly high quality.

The Old World Carolers sings for benefits of our choice for an authentic holiday spirit--we may include homeless shelters, environment protection, medical emergency help for the needy, or other causes. Candidates for this year's repertoire include Allon, gay bergeres (old French), Candlemas Eve, Come, Mad Boys, Be Glad, Boys, Fum, fum, fum, Green Grow’th the Holly, Panis angelicus, Hacia Belén, Past Three a Clock, Sankta Lucia (in Swedish), Ya viene la vieja (Spanish), and more. We always add a few standards for singalongs.

Voices of Silicon Valley, an adventurous and exciting chamber chorus in Silicon Valley, is inviting new singers to audition. Described by the San Francisco Classical Voice as '...this ensemble boasts not only great mission but also great vocal talent", VOSV has been at the forefront of innovation in the choral/vocal field. This fall, we will be singing arrangements of songs by Pentatonix, King's Singers and a new work by composer Monica Houghton, commissioned by VOSV, dedicated to the struggles of undocumented families in California.

Auditions for Valley Concert Chorale 2018-2019 Season

Livermore, Calif. – The Valley Concert Chorale, the Tri-Valley’s premier chorus for over 50 years, is now scheduling appointments for auditions for singers who would like to be a part of the Chorale’s 2018-2019 concert season. Auditions will be held on the following dates:

• Mondays, September 10, 17 and 24

Come for Messiah, stay for the other wonderful things! Chora Nova will perform Handel's beloved Messiah in November; then on to the inspired silliness of Gilbert and Sullivan in March; and finally Saint-Saens' Requiem and Poulenc's Gloria in May.

Lacuna Arts Chorale, an a cappella chorus of 20-24 balanced voices, gives intermediate and advanced amateur choral singers the chance to tackle some of the more demanding 8-part choral literature with as few as 1–3 voices per part. This year we will be launching a new Audience-in-Residence program to help our audience members and singers engage more deeply in choral works of art, build community, and take a more active role in opposing racism, oppression, and social injustice.
