Choral Celebration 2022

Join us for our 38th Annual Choral Celebration on November 27th, 2022 at 4 pm at Presbyterian Church of the Roses!

Staff Changes: Fall 2022

In August 2022, we have had some staff changes at the SRCCA.

We bid a fond farewell to Marla Tusa, our Director of Training & Intermediate Groups. We’re happy to report that our Artistic Director, Carol Menke is now directing all three groups (Training, Intermediate, and Concert) of the SRCCA, and she is also the Music Theory Instructor for the Fall 2022 semester.

Thanks are due to both of them for their dedication to the SRCCA, and to keeping the rich tradition of choral music alive in Sonoma County.

Come Sing With Us!

Our three groups, Training, Intermediate, and Concert, are back to singing in person, and masks are optional.

Rehearsals for the Training and Intermediate Groups are on Mondays, and rehearsals for the Concert Group are on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Both are held at our rehearsal home in Santa Rosa.

If you would like to come and join us, please email us or call 707-527-8813.

About Auditions/Joining

If you know someone who loves to sing, NOW IS THE TIME TO CONTACT US. The Santa Rosa Children’s Choral Academy can still be a place of solace for our children during these unpredictable times.

Although it’s advisable to start at the beginning of the semester, we accept audition requests at any time. The more the merrier!

Children from 7 to 12 are welcome and encouraged to join us. Call 707-527-8813 or  email for more information. Come join us in song!

Programs

Training and Intermediate Groups

The Training and Intermediate Groups focus on instruction in music theory and musicianship, training youth to read music and to sing music in several parts. The Training Group sings in unison, the Intermediate Group sings in two parts.

Concert Group

The Concert Group sings a much larger repertoire than the Training and Intermediate Groups, in many parts and languages. They also have a number of performance opportunities each semester, including tour opportunities in the U.S. and abroad.

Our Song

The Santa Rosa Children’s Chorus was founded in 1984 by Juelle Hinman to create a professional level, non-denominational chorus for the children of Sonoma County. In 2017, the name was changed to the Santa Rosa Children’s Choral Academy to better reflect the rigorous musical academic and performance training.
