The choir "flourishes in the incomparable sound of many voices unified in tone and spirit, blooming in the radiant phrases of Brahms, soaring on warmth of feeling, perfectly tendered... In pitch, blend, range, balance and variety of sonority, this choral instrument is excellent."...Robert Commanday,  San Francisco Chronicle

SFBACC Fall 2010 Concerts
November 13-14, 2010

This fall, we once again look forward to performing under the direction of guest conductor Steven Brunsvold.  Steve directed our April 2010 "Love and the Unknown" program and we are very happy to have him back at the helm for our Fall concerts. 

We hope that you will join us for a concert including works by Brahams, Byrd, Poulenc, Lauridsen, Brahms, Copland, and others.

On Saturday, November 13, we will sing at the St Mark's Episcopal Church in Berkeley at 7PM.

The following evening, Sunday, November 14, we'll be performing once again at the lovely historic Old Mission San Jose in Fremont  at 7PM. 

 See our concerts page for more details. 

Auditions

We are always on the lookout for experienced singers.   Prospective singers should have extensive choral experience, excellent reading and musicianship skills, and should be dedicated to the art of choral singing.  

If you are interested in inquiring about auditions, please contact us  for further information by e-mailing us at auditions@sfbaychoir.org. 

When you write, please let us know what part you sing and provide a brief summary of your singing experience. 

The choir usually rehearses on Sunday evenings from 6-9 at Faith Lutheran Church in Castro Valley, with at least one longer rehearsal scheduled each season for a Sunday afternoon and evening about a month before our scheduled concerts.  We begin rehearsals in late August for our annual Fall concerts in November, and we begin rehearsals each January for our annual Spring concerts in April. 

SFBACC Travels 

SFBACC has traveled extensively since its founding in 1978.  We just returned from a very rewarding 2-week concert tour of Turkey.

This was the choir's 12th overseas tour since our 1979 visit to  Lucerne, Switzerland to participate in the Europa Cantat festival.   

In addition to our own visits to other countries over the past 32 years, we have also hosted several European choirs here in the Bay Area, including the Nicolai Chamber Choir from Stockholm, Sweden; the Westphalian Chamber Choir from Münster, Germany; the Malmö Chamber Choir from Malmö, Sweden; the Charles University Choir from Prague; and the Camerata Vocale Hannover.
