Cincinnati Camerata

Cincinnati Camerata is a mixed-voice choral ensemble of about 30 accomplished volunteer singers that focuses on chamber and contemporary classical music from medieval chant through living composers. We produce 2-3 formal concerts each season along with several more social programs through a smaller satellite group, the Camerata Consort. The Camerata is also committed to promoting new choral music through our annual Composition Contest prize, and we collaborate with some of Cincinnati's finest instrumental and vocal chamber ensembles.

Around half of our ensemble are degreed musicians or music teachers, and membership is by audition through our artistic director, Brett Scott, a member of UC-CCM's choral conducting faculty. Our repertoire is challenging, and no other choir in Cincinnati offers the Camerata's high-quality performance opportunity for only a moderate time commitment from members with busy careers beyond music.

Cincinnati Children’s Choir

The Cincinnati Youth Choir is an educationally based choral ensemble program.

Cincinnati Sound Chorus

Cincinnati Sound Chorus is a group of women who mostly live in the Greater Cincinnati Area and who share a love of singing. The chorus is a Chapter of Sweet Adelines International, Inc. and is part of Region #4, the Harmony Heartland Region. The art-form we pursue is performing vocal four-part harmony, a cappella, generally arranged in the barberbershop style. Some songs lend themselves to choreographed movement, which helps increase the expression and showmanship of our music.

Our members come from multiple generations and varied walks of life, from 20-something (and younger) to past retirement age; from student to professional, from highly trained musician to well-attuned amateur.

We continually strive for musical excellence through the education gained in weekly rehearsal and public performances. We compete annually at a regional competition with other Sweet Adelines choruses, striving to win our regional contest and advance to the international level. In 2007, we won the region and competed at the international contest in Honolulu, Hawaii in 2008. In 2012, we earned a silver medal in the World Choir Games, held here in our city.

Circle City Sound

In 1944, forty-five men gathered in the Claypool Hotel, at the corner of Washington and Illinois Streets in downtown Indianapolis, to organize the first barbershop harmony chapter in Indianapolis. Another chapter was formed in Broad Ripple in 1948, and the two chapters merged in 1955 to form the Greater Indianapolis Chapter. In 1958, the chapter adopted Speed Capital Chorus as the chorus name, changing it to Pride of Indy in 1978, and to Circle City Sound in 2003. We are part of an international organization known as the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Barbershop Harmony Society was founded in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1938, as the Society for the Preservation of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA), and currently boasts nearly 20,000 members. From the beginning, our goal has been to preserve the unique American art form known as Barbershop singing, and to bring that art form to our audiences in the Central Indiana area. Our chapter's mission is to enhance lives by performing with excellence and encouraging singing within our community.

Circle Singing Chicago

The Chicago Circle Singing community gathers for spontaneous, improvised singing. This is an opportunity for individuals to join in community and explore their voices in a free, safe and playful way. Drawing on traditions of chant, rhythm, movement, melody and harmony. Improvised singing is accessible to beginning singers, but can also challenge the very experienced. Ultimately, these gatherings are fun, rejuvenating and community building for anyone with a song in their heart.

Circle Singing Denver

What is Circle Singing? Circle Singing is a community singing and sounding practice, spontaneous and evolving - like a drum circle for voices.

Here's the basic structure: The circle is divided into sections. A leader creates parts spontaneously - patterns, rhythms, harmonies, melodies, percussive sounds, recognizable words, or invented language - and teaches the parts orally to the sections, layering them together into completely original compositions. Each song is a unique creation, never sung before, never to be sung again.

From this basic structure we build into all types of vocal improv games. You can choose your level of participation.It's a very safe, simple, playful, community experience that will make you feel great! All voices are welcome! No experience necessary!

Circlesinging Baltimore

Join CircleSongs Baltimore for singing, community-building, improvisation, and spiritual nourishment. All are welcome!

CircleSinging Boston

CircleSinging is a spontaneous, improvisational community-singing experience, a little bit like a "drum circle" for singers. In a circlesong, a leader starts by improvising a line of music and gives it / teaches it to one part of the circle. The leader then develops a second part that goes with the first and gives that part to another section of the circle. CircleSingers learn and repeat the exact part given to them. Soon we are singing a four part (at least) chorus that has never been sung before. This chorus can support individual solos.

CircleSinging NYC

CircleSinging is a form of facilitated Vocal Improv which could be described as "a drum circle for singers" or "improvised choral music." During the course of the ever-changing chant, the leader develops and gives parts to a circle of singers, which in turn supports individual solos. Both participating in and witnessing the creation of the music that emerges is often an exhilarating and joyful (many have said spiritual) experience.

Circlesinging Vocal Jam D.C.

Circlesinging is a spontaneous, improvisational community-singing experience, a little bit like a "drum circle" for singers. It's done all over the world in countless different ways and it dates back to the earliest forms of human singing. We take inspiration from methods developed by Bobby McFerrin and his collaborators. Our experienced circlesong leaders create parts on-the-spot, and lead groups in fun wordless songs. Sing beautiful harmonies without sheet music; promote self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment; and, many circlesingers find that it fosters cooperation, teamwork, and community. It's important to listen deeply -- to each other and to ourselves -- and to be responsive to what is there. This is a "mistake-free" zone, for all levels of singers. Come sing with us!

These concerts often combine traditional and classical music for choral ensemble with other performing arts idioms. From the festive sounds of the holiday season to innovative collaborations to works inspired by the visual arts, our programs present a rare and varied musical experience. One of our continuing goals each season is to perform in different communities, on both sides of the Connecticut River, in order to visit a variety of performance spaces and audiences throughout the region.

Classic Collection

The story of the 1982 Int'l Quartet Champion Classic Collection is pretty unique in many respects. It all began in Hastings Nebraska in 1968. Original baritone, and long-time barbershop enthusiast, "Papa Joe" Heltne, and his son Terry invited two aspiring singers, one a natural tenor and the other an operatic vocal major from the Hastings College choir, to join them for an evening of singing. Before it was over, Larry Wilson a lead, and Curt Hutchison, a tenor, agreed that this foursome, originally called "Three Lads and a Dad," should stay together. They worked hard and rose in the ranks of the Central States District. After a short hiatus due to Larry's four year stint in the Navy, they changed their name to "Classic Collection" , and eventually found themselves the winners of the 1975 Central States District Quartet Championship.

Classic Edition

1998 International Championship Quartet Sweet Adelines International Classic Edition's journey to the championship began seven years before their win, in the same city. The foursome organized just nine months prior to the 1990 Sweet Adelines competition in Salt Lake City, winning their regional competition and making them eligible to compete on the international stage in Salt Lake that same year. Although each member had extensive experience singing with other quartets as well as one another, their performance at the 1990 international contest was disappointing. Gaining confidence with each succeeding contest, and following their coach's advice, the quartet qualified again for international competition. They placed ninth in 1991 and sixth at each international contest from 1992 through 1995. Perceived as restrained by many judges, the foursome learned to let their hair down at the 1996 contest and earned second place medals. And after finally attaining the top prize in 1998, the quartet says that preparation and learning to take a risk was the key to success. Personal and family reasons made it impossible to keep up their busy show schedule, and Susan Ives left the quartet in 2000.

Classic Sounds

If you close your eyes and think back to Murray the K, the Brooklyn Paramount, the street lights on Belmont Avenue, the boulevards of Bensonhurst, straphanging from a leather strap on your way to see "Dem Bums", Frankie, Dion, WMCA Good Guys, cruising the streets in a '56 Chevy with the windows cranked down, singing to the tunes on your portable AM radio, and a host of other good times, you'll know why "The Classic Sounds" sing DooWop. That's why a surgeon, a plumber, 2 teachers, and a musician can lean in close to each other, sing those back-up sounds that are second nature to us all, give you a little hand jive and a smile, and make you remember what "feel good" acappella music is all about.

Classical Uprising

We believe that classical music enriches lives, inspires souls, and strengthens communities. At the same time, we recognize that traditional concerts may have limited appeal to 21st-century audiences. For some, a traditional concert may feel like an ordeal: put life on hold (kids not welcome), sit quietly in a cathedral-like symphony hall (no chatting, refreshment, or dancing), and observe mysterious rules of etiquette (don't you dare clap between movements!).

Classical Uprising offers a bold rethinking of the classical music experience through immersive events, performances, and educational programs. Formed in 2020 as a merger between Oratorio Chorale and Portland Bach Experience, Classical Uprising is a 501(c)3 nonprofit committed to community development, creative expression, inclusivity, lifelong learning, and artistic excellence.

We chose the name "Classical Uprising" because we believe that classical music must rise up, challenge current norms, and re-envision where, how, and for whom we are making music. Now, with the fight against systemic racism at the forefront, classical music must fully embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our goal is a holistic approach to classical music that enlivens, strengthens, and connects communities. Join us!

Clearfield Choral Society

The Clearfield Choral Society, formerly known as the Clearfield Community Chorus, is becoming one of Central Pennsylvania's leading community choirs. The 50+ voice mixed choir brings in community members of all ages, experiences, and professions, and unites them through the transcendent power of choral singing. This choir was founded in Clearfield in 2015, after a twenty-year hiatus without a community choral group. Since this resurgence, the Clearfield Choral Society revived the tradition of performing masterpieces of the major repertoire in Clearfield County and quickly gained attention after its performance of G. F. Handel's Messiah in 2018. The choir performs two concerts a season: one in December in collaboration with the High Voltage Youth Show Choir that is centered on the winter and holiday seasons, and one in the Spring that generally consists, in part, of a complete choral work.

Clearlakes Chorale

Often appearing with full orchestra, Clearlakes Chorale performs many large scale works, such as Handel's oratorio Messiah and Masses of Bach, Mozart, and Stravinsky.

Under our Conductor Andy Campbell's baton, Clearlakes Chorale has enjoyed collaboration with the Village Players, Brewster Academy (on two Gilbert and Sullivan operettas), and Mirror Lake Community Church. In celebration of the chorale's 25th anniversary year, Clearlakes Chorale commissioned two works, a composition from our very own Andy Campbell and another from celebrated Boston composer, Daniel Pinkham.

Experienced in both accompanied and a cappella performing, the group has arrangements for duos, trios and an 18-piece big band. Members of Clockwork have performed live with artists such as Bobby McFerrin, The Hi-Lo's , Meredith Monk, Don Shelton, Gene Puerling, Barbara Lewis, Sufjan Stevens, John Zorn, Barbara Morrison, Kent Nagano with the Deutches Symphonie Orchester and the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, The PM Singers, Heatwave, GQ, Barbara Lynn, Richie Cole, M-Pact!, the House Jacks, Boyz Nite Out, InFusion, Vocal Flight, and on Ward Swingle's Instructional video "Swingle Singing."

Club Cabaret

Cabaret began when Pam, Holly and Donna performed together as part of two special public relations tours to China in 2002 and 2003. Both tours were organized to help spread the love of barbershop singing to yet another part of the world. These three thoroughly enjoyed each other's company and had some pretty special performances. In fact, the geographic differences suddenly didn't seem nearly so impossible. All they had to do was find someone 'crazy enough' to be the fourth part of this special quartet - so they contacted Patty, a world renowned Sweet Adeline tenor - and Cabaret was born!

Coasters

From 1956 to 1961, the Coasters released a string of classic singles that reflected the life of the American teenager with keen wit and hot, rocking harmonies. Invariably those songs were written, produced and arranged by the duo of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The union of a black vocal group with two Jewish songwriters was one of the most propitious in rock history. Leiber and Stoller's witty, street-smart "playlets" were sung with sly, clowning humor by the Coasters and accompanied by the hot, honking "yakety sax" of King Curtis. The Coasters' parlayed their R&B roots into rock and roll hits by delivering Leiber and Stoller's serio-comic tunes in an uptempo doo-wop style. Beneath the humor the songs often made incisive points about American culture for those willing to dig a little deeper.

Coastline Show Chorus

The Coastline Show Chorus offers New England a unique form of entertainment, blending four-part a cappella harmony with energetic choreography. Under the direction of Gail Jencik, Coastline presents a range of music from treasured American classics to Broadway hits and modern jazz.
