Brevard Chorale

Welcome

The Brevard Chorale, under the auspices of Eastern Florida State College (EFSC), is celebrating over 50 years of performing. The Chorale offers at least two performances each year at the end of the Spring and Fall Semesters at the Simpkins Performing Arts Center, Eastern Florida State College. For the past few years the Chorale has had additional performances at the Great Outdoors Resort in Titusville. Auditions and enrollment for the Spring Semester 2018 will be Monday, January 8, 2018 starting at 6:30 pm in Room 204 building 4 at the Cocoa Campus. New members will be asked to participate in an informal audition with the director while former members may simply re-enroll on that evening. If, for some reason, you are unable to attend the enrollment meeting on the 8th, you may enroll at the next rehearsal on Monday, January 22nd (the college is closed on the 15th for Martin Luther King observance).

Our Spring Concert theme will be AMERICANA. Selections will include Patriotic, American Folk, and American Spirituals. If you are interested in joining us as a singer, plan to attend our initial rehearsal for the new year on the 8th of January. The entire Spring schedule is listed below. in the page Items of Interest to the Chorale Members.
