    was the best they have heard from the chorus. Our director Jerry works hard every season to diversify
    the music and make the arrangements to work with the chorus's sound. We are soo very lucky to have him
    as our director and fearless leader!
     
    Please check back to our website for our new season will be starting and we are looking for people who
    love to sing, who enjoy learning great music and meet wonderful people.

    The history of our Chorus

     Welcome to the Community Chorus website!
     
    Here is a  some backround history of our 27yrs old chorus...
     
     The community chorus was founded in 1980 as an avenue for area singers to come together to share their gifts of music with the neighboring communities.
    At the time it was founded, a large percentage of the chorus members were also members of the Emanuel Church, Hales Corners, and requested the use of its fellowship hall and sanctuary for rehearsal space and public concerts. A long and satisfying relationship was formed which still exists today!
     
     
    The Community Chorus is a mixed chorus of 60-70 men and women who sing four part harmony. We feature individial talent through solo work, ensembles, etc. We are a dedicated group of adults who give a commitment of time and talent to the chorus and the community at large through public appearances and community service sing-outs. The ages of our members varies and we welcome anyone who enjoys singing and creating new friendships and of course performing wonderful music.
