There are six performances per season, all on Sunday afternoons commencing at 3:00 p.m. Please refer to our Current Season page for dates and program information.
We welcome listeners from any background, discriminating against no one. The only restriction placed upon our audience is that we do not invite very young children (aged five years and below) to join us, as much for their own comfort as our need for a controlled environment: choral music can be very quiet indeed!
For season tickets (as well as compact discs and contributions), please use the Order Form. The mailing address is given on the form. Since a subscription (for six concerts) costs the same as or less than four individual concert tickets, we recommend this money-saver to you.
At each venue those seats offering the best acoustics are reserved for season ticket holders -- another reason to subscribe to this unique concert series!
For individual concert tickets, please record your request with our answering
service,
Concerts can sell out, so we urge you to obtain tickets in advance.
All other enquiries, including those regarding
donations or hiring

Photography: It is our aim to create an ideal setting to hear wonderful music, and by its nature our 'chamber' music can be so soft that the slightest noise is disconcerting -- this includes the sound of still and video recording. So, although photographs and video recordings can be a wonderful memento of a splendid occasion, we ask that you refrain from any filming, with or without flash, during our performances. Apart from the intrusion such filming may make into the concert atmosphere, it can distract the singers and compromise their performance. Furthermore, all photographs of the Chamber Chorus are the property of the Board of Directors, and copyright exists on them. Requests to photograph performances may only be considered if prior approval is sought in writing from the Board President (and such requests may be rejected).
Recording: Although it is flattering for us that people often wish to record our concerts, we must ask that this not be done. There are several reasons for our policy:
First, many of the pieces we perform are copyrighted, which means that
they remain the property of the publisher, composer or editor: Our performance
is licensed through ASCAP, their national organization, to whom we pay
a fee. Any recording we may make is for archival purposes, and is not permitted
for public distribution. We have, however, compiled several
compact discs of live performances, and have paid the appropriate copyright fees;
these CDs are available from the Chorus Office
Second, all performances by the Chamber Chorus are the property of the Board of Directors, and copyright exists on them. Requests to record performances may only be considered if prior approval is sought in writing from the Board President (and again, such requests may be rejected).
Third, the uncontrolled use of recording equipment can be disruptive to the performers or to the audience. For all of these reasons, we ask you not to bring tape recorders to our concerts.
Copyrighted Material: It is the stated policy of the Board of Directors of the St. Louis Chamber Chorus to maintain and expand its music library through the purchase of all music scores from official suppliers and publishers. Furthermore, in the event that a score is out of print, it is the stated policy to secure reproduction rights from the relevant copyright holder, if that person/company has no facility to make legal reprints.
Cancellation Policies: See our Cancellation Policies page for the policies that apply in case of inclement weather or other circumstances requiring the cancellation/postponement of a concert.
