"Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory." 
 Sir Thomas Beecham

The Syracuse Chorale offers singers a unique opportunity to perform  the very best in choral music no matter what the genre. Unlike other choral organizations that focus on a particular style of music, the Syracuse Chorale creates programs that are diverse enough to appeal to a broad audience. Past programs have included the works of Bach, Brahms, and Beethoven, as well as Rogers and Hammerstein and Gilbert and Sullivan. Contemporary composers as diverse as John Rutter and George Gershwin are often added to the mix as well. The purpose of course, is to keep the singers interested, and the audience inspired.

Music selection is a cooperative effort between the Musical Director and the Board of Directors. A typical concert in winter and spring consists of one large work like the Requiem by Brahms, and a selection of shorter "octavos" performed by the larger Chorale as well as the Chamber Singers. 

May's Cabaret program is quite different. The primary fundraiser for the Chorale, Cabaret is presented nightclub style, with hors d'oeuvres and desserts served prior to the performance, and at intermission. The program typically has a specific musical theme such as the songs of America, or the music of Gilbert and Sullivan, so the songs are generally well known to the audience. From a singer's perspective, Cabaret provides a multitude of opportunities for solo and small ensemble performances.

In short, the Syracuse Chorale provides new and experienced singers an opportunity to expand their horizons and have fun at the same time. Why don't you join us?  To find out more, please visit the Membership section of this site, or call us at (315) 437-1995.
