The Douglas County Chamber Singers has been serenading the Douglas County community with quality choral music since 2002.  The Chamber Singers value and promote musicianship, proficiency, community spirit, enjoyment, and diversity.

With the help from and support of the community the Chamber Singers were honored to sing Mozart's Requiem with a combined choir from all across the United States, conducted by John Rutter, at Carnegie Hall in June 2007.  The Chamber Singers performed Mozart’s Requiem in their Spring 2008 concert and have been invited to perform the Requiem again in Vienna, Italy in the Summer of 2009.  You can hear their performance of Lacrymosa from their Spring concert by selecting the button below.

Sing with the Chamber Singers

Ms. Orme auditions new choir members throughout the year.  During auditions, Ms Orme will evaluate the quality and range of your voice and will assess your proficiency with reading music and singing a part.  You will be asked to:

• sing a prepared solo, which can be any classical, religious, or popular song you wish to sing. 
• sing a scale
• sight read an alto, soprano, tenor or bass part of a hymn.

Auditions are held throughout the summer and during the holiday break between the December concert and the start of rehearsals for the Spring concert.  If you are interested in joining the Chamber Singers, please call Vickie Orme at 770.489.0503 or Andrea Tingen at 770.949.3623 to schedule an audition appointment.

Singers pay annual dues of $75 to cover music and administrative costs.

The Chamber Singers are currently on break for the summer, but will resume its Tuesday rehearsals around the middle of August.  Rehearsals are held each week through the fall, winter and spring months, concluding with the Spring concert.
