The Throckmorton Chorus is composed of about 30 singers from all ages and walks of life who share a love of music and a desire to learn and grow in collaboration with others. Each season the repertoire includes a wide variety of styles allowing members to expand and deepen their skills and understanding of this rich music. The quality and artistry of the chorus continues to grow each season by leaps and bounds.
Rehearsals are held on Monday nights and each season culminates in a public concert at the theatre. Membership is by audition and subject to availability in your voice section. Auditions for new members are held twice a year – in January/February and September. Returning members re-audition each September before the Fall season.
