Chapel Hill Community Chorus

Summer Chorus

CHCC Summer Chorus began in 2002 on the presumption that there were people who didn't want a vacation from singing during the summer. Apparently, this was true.

Unlike the regular CHCC season, where tuxedoes and long black dresses are the required attire, we go for a casual yet uniform look. T-shirts emblazoned with our summer theme make for a comfortable, colorful, and cooler dress code.

Guest artists have appeared with the chorus each summer adding another dimension to these entertaining programs.

Summer Chorus, an eight-week program beginning the last Tuesday in May, is a good time to "get your feet wet" with singing. In addition to many regular CHCC singers, we welcome folks who perhaps haven't sung in years or who have fewer regular time commitments during the summer. A simple voice placement with the conductor is all that is required for membership. Dues include a chorus t- shirt. An additional fee is charged for the music packet.

The Chapel Hill Community Chorus
would like to thank its many donors and friends who help make our
performances possible. Without your continuing support we would be unable to consistently provide high-quality musical programs for the
benefit of the community.
We are especially grateful to Strowd Roses, Inc. for its very generous gift.

No less important for the life of the chorus has been the long-term and
on-going dedication of
the friends and members of the chorus itself, who have given so enthusiatically of their time, energy, dedication,
and, of course, their voices. Thank you
all very much!
