Basic Information
Description: | This is an amateur, special interest chorus, open to the general public after prior contact with the group's choral coordinator. |

Year Estab: | 1988 |
Mission: | To provide singers and instrumentalists the opportunity to read the choral chamber music of J.S.

In a typical session we read through a 'new' cantata, after rereading the cantata introduced in the previous session. |
Emphasis: | The choral music of Bach, mainly the cantatas, sung with a chamber orchestra. |
Size: | 25-30 |
Concerts/Year: | This is not primarily a performing group; however, a Tenth Anniversary concert was given in March of 1998. |
Auditions: | None currently |
Dues: | $8 per bimonthly session, plus purchase cost of scores (unless you have other access) |
Rehearsals: | 2nd or 3rd Sunday of odd-numbered months (except July, when rehearsal moved to the last Sunday of June), 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., St. John's Episcopal Church in Montclair, 1707 Gouldin Road, Oakland |
