Dubuque Chorale

Joining the Dubuque Chorale

Membership in the Dubuque Chorale is open to high school, college, and adult singers from the Tri-State area. All ages are encouraged to participate in this nonprofit musical organization, which is dedicated to improving the musical skills of its singers and to providing quality musical entertainment for its audiences. No audition is required.

The Children’s Choirs are for students in grades 3–6 who are participating in their own school’s music program.

Chorale and Cadenza Rehearsals

Regular rehearsals during the concert season are Thursday nights from 7 to 9 pm. Cadenza rehearses Thursdays 6 to 7 pm, before the full Chorale. The first rehearsal for the 2023/24 season was Thursday, August 24.

Regular rehearsals are in the sanctuary of Grand View United Methodist Church on the northwest side of Dubuque.

Children’s Choir Rehearsals

Rehearsals are Monday nights from 5:15 pm to 6:30 pm at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Dubuque. First rehearsal for the 2023/24 season was Monday, August 28.

Joining

To join the Chorale this fall, this summer register online, then come to our first rehearsal August 29 (or soon after). If you have questions the website can’t answer, email the director Amanda Huntleigh. Or, simply come to a Thursday night rehearsal, and if you enjoy the experience, ask to talk to Amanda about joining.

Voice placement interviews for the Children’s Choirs for the 2024/25 season will be held in May. Click here for details on how, where, and when to set up an interview.
