The Ithaca Community Chorus and Chamber Singers will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2026.
Music is often called a universal language. The chorus embraces this sentiment, welcoming students and regional residents from many different backgrounds, professions, and levels of musical experience. Come join us! No auditions are required, just a love of singing, the ability to follow a musical score and match pitch, and a commitment to attending weekly rehearsals and the culminating performance.
The Chamber Singers is an auditioned subset of the chorus, performing musical selections that complement the main piece at each concert.
CONCERTS AND SEMESTER SCHEDULE
The chorus performs primarily classical choral music. Rehearsals take place at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evenings at St. Paul’s Methodist Church on North Aurora Street. The fall semester begins in mid-September and culminates in a January concert; the Spring semester begins in early February and ends with a concert in mid-May.
Registration is on a semester basis. Students register at a reduced rate and scholarships are available to those that need them. Along with concert ticket sales, grants, and donations, member tuition is vital in helping cover chorus expenses.
Participating in ICC offers singers a unique experience to perform timeless choral masterpieces with many voices and gorgeous accompaniment in a glorious setting. Come sing with us!
