​Considering Joining Bel Canto Senior Singers? 
​
​
Bel Canto Senior Singers welcomes seniors of all abilities, without auditions, and is led by professional conductors.
We offer free to low-cost memberships, workshops, and scholarships, with in-person and virtual rehearsals and performances with an expanded reach through new partnerships like St. Ann's Center, focusing on aging adults, mental health, and socio-emotional well-being through music, and collaborating with community arts organizations.
​
      So, 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
    • Currently the minimal  membership fee per semester for 2025-26 is $30.  (scholarships available upon request)
  • Virtual rehearsal open to all singers (Zoom link sent to all who register)
  • In general, stay home when you aren't feeling well. Zoom recordings of the rehearsals are available for all who need it!​​ Senior Singers are welcome to wear masks, but masks are not required.​​
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.
​
You'll sing a wide variety of music including classical, gospel, Broadway tunes, folk songs and familiar selections from the Great American Songbook. There's no such thing as a boring rehearsal!​
