Our adult chorus is for singers in grade nine through adult. They perform two major concerts per year and rehearse on Monday evenings from September to December and February to May. Their repertoire ranges from Beethoven to Broadway, although their emphasis is on masterworks and other traditional choral repertoire. Recent works include Faure's Requeim, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass, and Vaughn Williams's Dona Nobis Pacem. No audition is required, although experience in choral singing and an ability to read music is helpful. The adult chorus is under the direction of Sean Hackett.

Our youth chorus is for students in grades three through eight. They perform with the adult chorus in at least one major concert per year and also participate in a few special events of their own. The youth rehearse on Monday evenings from September to December and February to May. Repertoire for this ensemble is a mixture of songs from the US and all over the world, arranged to be appropriate and enjoyable for young singers. No audition is required. Our previous director, Karen Umberger, recently retired; we are grateful for her many years of talented leadership. Our new director, Gabrielle Quandel Umholtz, just took over the position in February of 2024.
