The West Chester Area Community Chorus
The West Chester Area Community Chorus began in 1996 with a group of 28 singers at our first rehearsal, quickly grew to over 60 for our first concert and are now over 125 members. We do not require auditions so we have all levels of singers in our group. Our only requirements are that you are out of high school, enjoy singing and want to have a good time.
Our season runs during the school year from September to May and we typically perform two concerts each year, one in January and one in May where we present a variety of musical genres in our concerts. Everything from classic choral pieces to Broadway show music, pop songs, spirituals, folk music, men’s and women’s ensemble pieces and more.
We also do community appearances such as singing the National Anthem at a Philadelphia Phillies or Wilmington Blue Rocks game. We have also performed at the West Chester Olde Fashioned Christmas and local retirement communities. On several occasions, we had the privilege to perform on Veteran’s Day during the Military Order of the World Wars service at the Washington Chapel on the VF National Park grounds. All of these performances/activities are voluntary and as a member of the group you are welcome to sing at any or all of these venues.
We rehearse primarily at West Chester East High School, 450 Ellis Lane, West Chester, PA on Monday evenings from 7:00-9:00 PM and we typically perform our concerts at East High School. When the high school is not available to us, we use alternate rehearsal locations or dates.
We request dues of $15 per concert season to help us offset music purchases and other operational costs.
We look forward to seeing you at a rehearsal or concert in the near future!
