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.

• 2002 An American Journey with Kickin' Grass (Blue grass band)
• 2003 Passport to Song with Kahlid Saleem and the Rhythms of Life
• 2004 The British Are Coming with BackBeat Band (Beatles Music)
• 2005 Across the Border: Hispanic and Canadian Music with Los
  Galleros Mariachi Band
• 2006 Gotta Dance with Fred Astaire Dancers and Cai Flameco Dancers
• 2007 A Soulful Sound: Spiritual, Blues, and Gospel with Jazz
  Vocalist Susan Reeves
• 2008 La Bonne Cuisine: A musical culinary tour featuring Guest Soprano Florence Peacock

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.
