Would you like to be a part of the Community Chorus?

Our rehearsals start on Wednesday, September 4, 2019. You can join us at that rehearsal before registering to get a sense of who we are. Beyond the first rehearsal, you will need to register and can do so here. If you’re not ready to commit to the season, you can join us for a free, open-to-all Community Sing. Join our mailing list or follow on Facebook or Instagram to learn when the next one will be.

Participation in the Community Chorus costs $50 per semester. If for any reason, that figure discourages you from joining, please contact us and we can arrange a scholarship for you to join.

What We Value

• We recognize that harmonizing with others requires listening.
  • On a broad scale, we aim to listen to the needs of our community and find ways
    to interact that are meaningful and enriching for all.
  • On a small scale, we practice listening exercises in every rehearsal.
• We form alliances in new ways.
  • The choir comprises singers from different backgrounds, regions, and
    generations: We are strangers, harmonizing in a room.
  • With our composer-in-residence program, select composers from the Peabody
    community have the opportunity to work with the choir and gain real-life
    experience writing for real-life singers. The singers, in turn, get an experience
    they’ve likely never had before.
• We sing a range of styles (classical, folk, world) and welcome readers and non-readers who learn well by ear. The group truly will grow around those who come to sing and all interested in singing are welcome.

Our identity and shareable asset is not as an elite performing ensemble, but rather as a vehicle for community interaction.
