Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a cappella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of 4-part harmonizing, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.


Competition

In the spring of every year, Valley Forge Chorus participates in the Region 19 chorus competition in Ocean City, Maryland. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year. In 2011, International Competition will be held in Somewheresville. Click here to learn more.

 

Quartets

Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Our City Chorus currently is home to a number of wonderful quartets, and we are very proud of them! Click here to see our quartet section to learn more about them.
