“Artistry, Community and Service”

Enriching The Big Bend Through Our Passion for Choral Singing

James E. Brown, artistic director

The Tallahassee Civic Chorale is Northwest Florida's best-kept choral music secret! Now in its twenty-fourth year, the Tallahassee Civic Chorale represents a joyous, heartfelt love of singing, as well as a melding of the academic community of Tallahassee Community College with the surrounding Big Bend music community.

Established in 1986, the Tallahassee Civic Chorale is a non-profit, non-auditioned mixed choir of approximately 55 - 75 singers. Under the direction of Stefanie Cash, the Chorale rehearses weekly every Tuesday evening from 7:00 - 9:00 pm at Tallahassee Community College.

The Chorale is open to anyone in the Big Bend community. Since 1998, the Civic Chorale has been affiliated with the Tallahassee Community College. TCC students may take the Civic Chorale for college credit. In addition, the Civic Chorale sponsors a music scholarship for TCC students. To enter the Chorale, TCC students must register for course # MUN 1310, College Chorale, for one credit per semester, to a maximum of four credit hours.

The Chorale performs three major concerts during its season, with an eclectic mix of choral masterworks, musical theatre, spirituals, contemporary choral selections and lots of fun. We share our love of singing through "Sing Outs" at local civic events, including the Tallahassee Winter Festival and Springtime Tallahassee. In service to the community, we reach out to those who are otherwise unable to attend cultural events with concerts at nursing homes, retirement centers and assisted living facilities in the greater Tallahassee area.
