Sierra Madre Chorale
Why Us?
The Sierra Madre Chorale is a group of people who love singing! While we are nonprofessionals, we feel the importance of striving for the best performance possible.
We are a friendly group of people who enjoy each other's company. Our rehearsals are serious, but it wouldn’t be a Monday night without a little laughter. Out of this laughter comes the desire to do the best we can with each note of music.
We respect each other and realize we are all doing our best, whether it is more or less than ourselves.
Come, join us for a rehearsal and see for yourself what you are missing!
