About Arundelair Chorus

Arundelair Chorus is a membership organization of female singers who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have about 20 singers of varying ages, all walks of life, and from all parts of the Annapolis/Arnold/Bowie/Eastern Shore/Severna Park area.

Performance

The main purpose of Arundelair Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at community events throughout the year and at an annual regional competition. 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 a cappella singing.  Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals and a very important component of the chorus experience.  A few times a year we receive coaching from a visiting "master" in the art of barbershop where we learn new techniques to improve our individual and chorus singing.

CompetitionIn the spring of each year, Arundelair Chorus participates in the Region 19 chorus competition in Ocean City, MD.  Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other and receive evaluations and constructive feedback from a panel of certified judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories travel to International Competition which is held in the fall in a city selected each year. In 2011, International Competition will be held in Houston, TX. Click here to learn more.

Quartets

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