WELCOME!

 

Performance

The main purpose of Choral-Aires Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at annual competitions. We have small groups to perform Singing Telegrams at Valentines Day and special events, and we host special events such as our annual Fashion Show and Fall or Holiday shows. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.

Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of acapella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.

Competition

In the spring of every year, Choral-Aires Chorus participates in the Region 3 chorus competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year. In 2011, the Choral-Aires chorus had the privilege of representing Region 3 in Houston, TX.

 

Quartets

Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Choral-Aires Chorus currently is home to a number of wonderful quartets, and we are very proud of them! Click here to see our quartet section to learn more about them.
