If you want to express your pride through song and can carry a tune, the chorus may be the place for you. You may also opt to join as a non-singing member.
The next opportunity for new members to join will be Monday, September 9, at 6:30 pm for sign-up and a look over our new music at our regular rehearsal space at Plymouth Congregational Church, 232 E. Onondaga St., Syracuse. After that, new members may still join for the following two Mondays at our regular rehearsal time of 6:45 pm for a 7 pm start time. If you arrive late, please go around to the Equitable Towers (The buildings with the Weather Star, time, and temperature) side of the church on Madison St. to knock on the window where we are. We will let you in the back door.
Singing Members:
We are a non-auditioned chorus and heartily welcome new singing members to join us. Anyone is welcome to join during the first three weeks of our concert rehearsal season. At that time, our music director will guide you to one of the SATB sections that is most comfortable for your vocal range.
The chorus rehearses each Monday evening from 7:00 to 9:15, starting the first Monday after Labor Day for the fall and holiday season and March to June for the Spring/Pride concert. Our rehearsal location is: Plymouth Congregational Church, 232 East Onondaga Street, Syracuse, NY.
In order to purchase music and cover expenses, chorus members pay dues for the Holiday and Spring concert seasons. Scholarships are available for those with limited resources.
Non-Singing Members:
We welcome new non-singing members to join the Syracuse Gay & Lesbian Chorus. Non-singing members perform various administrative functions ranging from the maintenance of the music library to concert and event planning. Our organization cannot function without the vital contribution of our non-singing members.
Non-singing members are integral members of the organization. They enjoy with singing members all organizational privileges, including the right to vote and membership on the Board of Directors. Please attend any of our Monday night rehearsals. Non-Singing members can join any time during the concert season.
Please contact us if you are interested in joining or want more information concerning the Syracuse Gay and Lesbian Chorus.
