Calling all seniors age 55 or better!
       Bel Canto Senior Singers is open to seniors of all abilities, regardless of previous singing or musical             experience.  If you enjoy singing, you will love Senior Singers.
  • No audition to join
  • Run by professional conductors & accompanists
  • Learn basic musical concepts and practice good singing technique
  • Minimal $30 membership fee per semester (scholarships available upon request)
  • Virtual rehearsal open to all singers (Zoom link sent to all who register)
  • COVID Policies for Spring 2023 for New Berlin and Mequon groups (as of 1/03/2023): 
    • We are excited to once again invite singers to sing regardless of vaccination/booster status.   
    • Singers should take advantage of the remote participation by Zoom if there is any question about  their health on a given rehearsal day. 
    • Mask wearing at in-person rehearsals is directly dependent on the CDC Community levels in the three counties from which most singers come.  The policy will be determined by the highest level in any of the three counties, Milwaukee, Ozaukee and Waukesha
      • High:  Mask use is required for in-person singing.
      • Medium:  Mask use is recommended. 
      • Low:  Mask use is optional.
      • Weekly e-mails from the director will clarify Mask status for the week, but singers can check CDC levels at the following link:
    • Masks should fit well and cover both the nose and mouth.   N95, K95 and Kf94 offer best aerosol protection.
    • Any singer who prefers to wear a mask is encouraged to do so.     
  • Groups at San Camillo and Saint John's on the Lake will sing in person, and are only open to residents of those facilities and will adhere to the COVID policies of those communities.
A typical rehearsal begins with gentle stretching and vocal warm-ups, and the bulk of rehearsal is spent learning the music that will be performed at the semester-end concert (Fall or Spring).  Rehearsals are weekly and run 1.5 hours long.
​
​A wide variety of music is sung including classical, gospel, Broadway tunes, folk songs and familiar selections from the Great American Songbook .
