General Information

ChoralArt has three performance ensembles: ChoralArt Masterworks, ChoralArt Singers, and ChoralArt Camerata.

Rehearsals
Rehearsals for the Masterworks and Singers ensembles are held at Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church, 524 Allen Avenue, Portland, ME 04103 on Monday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00. A typical season begins after Labor Day and runs through Memorial Day.

Attendance Policy
A rehearsal schedule is published well in advance. Members are expected to attend at least 80% of regular rehearsals in order to sing in the concerts. Three tardy arrivals or early departures equal one absence. Attendance is mandatory at final rehearsals.

Memberships Dues
All members of ChoralArt pay dues of $75. The revenue from annual dues helps the organization produce and present exceptional musical experiences. Members of ChoralArt are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, and they receive all ChoralArt correspondence. Anyone for whom dues payment presents a hardship may speak to the President or Manager for other arrangements.
