The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus is one of the few professionally-trained, all-volunteer choruses left that is sponsored by an American orchestra. We perform with the Orchestra in four to six subscription concert weekends each season and in the Orchestra's annual Christmas concerts at Severance Hall.
Cleveland Orchestra Chorus members hail from all over northeast Ohio, including nearly 50 area communities. In recent years some have traveled for weekly rehearsals from as far away as Youngstown, Wooster, and Orville. We all feel that being a part of this Chorus is a privilege which is why 150 members donate over 40,000 hours annually in rehearsal and performance time. Members range in age from 18 to 75, and at least half-a-dozen singers have been members for over 35 years.
If you ever get the chance to visit Severance Hall on an evening when we are singing, we hope that you not only realize the professionalism of our Chorus but experience the joy we feel when we take the stage.
