Our Year At A Glance

The San Diego Chorus offers members a diverse and exciting schedule of opportunities to grow as a musician. In response to the pandemic, our rehearsals and projects have shifted to virtual format. We look forward to resuming our normal schedule as it becomes safe to do so. With focused vocal instruction, workshops, performances, competition and more, we're bursting with ideas and events that help us share our love of four-part women's a cappella barbershop music with the world! Here's a sample of what a typical year may look like.
