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

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.

Anyone for whom dues payment presents a hardship may speak to the President or Manager for other arrangements.
