The Chorale welcomes adults (18+) from across West Michigan who enjoy singing and performing together. Whether you are an experienced vocalist or simply love choral music, our rehearsals provide a supportive environment to grow musically and connect with others.
How to Join
Come to one of our Open Rehearsals, held in September and January. These sessions offer a great opportunity to experience our music and see how we rehearse and collaborate.
Registration & Membership Dues
After Open Rehearsals, all members must register annually and complete a participation form. This ensures accurate records and helps us plan for concerts and stage arrangements.
Annual dues are $80 per member ($40 per semester) and help with:
Purchasing new music
Accompanist stipends
General operating costs
We prefer that dues are paid by cash or check, payable to WMCC or West Michigan Community Chorale. Please give your dues to Board Treasurer Carol Snoek.
Dues via PayPal are $84 per year ($42 per semester) to cover transaction fees.
Everyone is welcome to join the Chorale, regardless of financial circumstances. If you’re interested in joining but need help covering dues, please speak with Les Rowsey or Carol Snoek.
Time Commitment
Rehearsals
7 – 9:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, September through early June
Concerts
Our concert schedule is finalized by October, and we ask members to commit to performing in all concerts that are set for the Chorale.
What if I miss rehearsal?
Members who miss more than 3 rehearsals in a semester may need to meet with the director to show mastery of the repertoire.
Common Questions
Is there an audition?
There is no formal audition. However, new singers should expect a brief, informal audition with the director so he can correctly place you in the Chorale.
How do I get in touch with the Chorale?
We can be reached by email on this website or through our Facebook page.
What if I’m not 18 yet or I’m still in high school?
High school students or those under 18 may join the Chorale with a recommendation from a current member and approval from our Director.
