We want to make sure that our audience feels entirely safe and comfortable coming to our concerts.  Although the prospects for a Christmas concert are uncertain, it is tentatively scheduled in December, subject to Santa Cruz County health guidelines.  We are also hopeful that we will be singing again in May of 2021.

With that in mind those dates would be:
Dec. 19 and 20, 2020, and May 29 and 30, 2021.

My son is one of your #1 fans

Our younger son is coming out from New York for the weekend [of the Christmas concert]- he is one of your #1 fans and always tries to coordinate his visits with your concerts. Last time he even wrote a letter to the editor in the Sentinel about the Chorale. He always swears that he never hears anything better in NY. Thanks for your great work.

The chorale performs choral works of diverse periods, genres and traditions, both unaccompanied and using professional soloists, instrumental ensemble and orchestra. The Santa Cruz Chorale makes such music accessible to the broadest possible audiences while enabling member singers to experience the delight and artistic growth inherent to sophisticated music-making.
