Former Singers

We have created a database of everyone who has sung for the Chamber Chorus in one or more concerts; this will be used to circulate news of special events, (e.g., anniversary concerts and receptions honoring former directors).  If you are a former singer in the Chamber Chorus, please contact us via E-mail or U.S. Mail (see contact information on the Home Page) to ensure that we have your current details on record.

We hope to eventually post the names of our former singers on this site (excluding personal information such as addresses and telephone numbers which will of course remain confidential).  In the meantime, the following (correct as of August 2008) lists all former singers who have sung with the Chorus as full or alternate members since the fall of 1999 (44th Season).  An asterisk (*) indicates an alternate member.  A name in parentheses before the last name indicates a maiden name under which the person also sang in the Chorus.
