Do you love singing? Are you looking to join a choir? We invite you to consider singing in one of Cleveland's finest musical traditions,The Singers ' Club of Cleveland. We are a men's chorus that provides an opportunity for serious non-professional singers to perform a wider and diverse range of choral works. While the primary focus of our organization is musical, we strive for camaraderie and friendship, and the relationships forged between members has been a major contribution to the success and longevity of The Singers' Club. We meet once a week on Tuesday evenings in Cleveland Heights, and regular rehearsal attendance is essential and expected. An informal "audition" is part of the process to join, where our Artistic Staff will get a sense of your voice. If you are interested, please visit our website at singersclub.org <https://singersclub.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=278f5ae772832427c5452…> for more information and send an email to membership(a)singersclub.org. Rehearsals have just begun for our next season!
