About Us

Rehearsal

 

The Lakeshore Community Chorus was born in early 2010 with the desire to offer a musical experience to singers in the surrounding area. Today our choral members represent nine lake shore communities!

The ensemble rehearses weekly during the months of September-December and March-May. Each session begins with opportunities to audition for part placement and concludes with a formal performance. Other performances and joint concerts are also planned during each session. Rehearsals are Tuesday evenings in Saugatuck. There is a participation fee for each session which helps pay expenses.

In 2011, we established ourselves as a registered nonprofit organization with a Board of Directors, and we keep growing…because our members, supporters, and communities believe music brings joy to everyone!
