About Diablo Vista Chorus

Diablo Vista Chorus is a membership organization of female singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize -- and have lots of fun!  We currently have over 50 fabulous singers of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of the Bay Area area.

Performance

Our mission is to get out and sing for our community! We sing at annual shows, community events, holiday events and annual competitions. We also perform Singing Telegrams around Valentines Day and Mother's Day. We are available to sing at your next function or event. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.

Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, our passion is learning more about the art of acapella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn and refine many fabulous tricks of the trade.

CompetitionIn the spring of every year, Diablo Vista Chorus participates in the Region 12 chorus competition. Competitions are a special time for choruses and quartets from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of distinguished judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year. In 2009, International Competition was held in Nashville, and Seattle will host the 2010 Competition. Click here to learn more.

Quartets

Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Diablo Vista Chorus currently is home to a number of wonderful quartets, and we are very proud of them!
