Performance
The main purpose of Voices of California is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, several community events, and at annual competitions. We also perform Singing Telegrams around Valentine's Day. We are available to sing at your next function or event. 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 an essential 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.
CompetitionIn the spring of every year, Voices of California participates in the Northeast Division of the Far Western District chorus competition in various cities. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our Division to sing for each other and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the District competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the Summer in a city selected each year.
Quartets
Most choruses have several members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Voices of California is currently home to several wonderful quartets, and we are very proud of them! Click here to see our quartet section to learn more about them.
