ANNOUNCING AUDITIONS FOR OUR UPCOMING PROGRAM THIS FALL at the San Jose Museum of Art!
Spots are available for both professional working musicians and community singers. VOSV is a semi-professional group focused on contemporary and modern repertoire, so this is an opportunity to sing very rarely performed vocal music with high quality singers and musicians.
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!

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.)
