Delta Chamber Choir

Delta Chamber Choir is always looking for new members to join

The Delta Chamber Choir is a group of not more than 24 individuals who offer a completely different experience than the larger Delta Community Choir for both choir and audience members. The dynamics of a small ensemble are significantly different than those of a large group and with a focus on a cappella music, the Chamber Choir offers listeners an intimate yet rich vocal experience.

The choir was first established in January 2008 as a choir for young adults and has since evolved into a fully auditioned choir for adults of all ages.

Membership Criteria

The Delta Chamber Choir welcomes all singers 18 years and older to audition. Members joining the choir will be auditioned in September and January.

The Delta Chamber Choir has no more than 24 members per term.

Members must be able to:

  • Take leadership from both the Artistic Director and Accompanist
  • Memorize their words and music
  • Participate in rehearsals without disrupting others
  • Hold pitch when singing
  • Perform an audition with the Artistic Director (Please have a short vocal piece ready for the audition and be prepared to sight read a short excerpt supplied by the Artistic Director)
