Please stand by for information on our website about…
…our second annual CCD Summer in the City Program in August, for all choral singers and choral conductors in SE Michigan, northern Ohio, and Windsor, Ontario!
…registration for our fall season, which will begin in late summer. We are an 80-member non-auditioned chorus committed to excellence in all our work. All interested singers are warmly welcome. While many of our choristers are experienced singers and some have voice degrees, others come to us with high school-, college-, or church-choir backgrounds. We would love to welcome you, whatever your choral-music background! If you are interested in the possibility of singing with the CCD in fall ’14, we have two open house rehearsals, on April 13 and 27, when you are welcome to visit to meet us and observe a rehearsal. If you would like to attend, please contact us at the email for “Questions,” above.
…our fall, 2015 European tour in France, where we will sing at the Cathedrals of Notre Dame in both Paris and Chartres, among many extraordinary venues.
