Cape Cod Chorale Invites Singers to Join “Northern Lights” Season
BARNSTABLE, MA — September 2026 — Cape Cod Chorale invites singers from across Cape Cod to join its 2026–27 season, beginning with two open rehearsals on Monday, September 14 and Monday, September 21, from 7–9 p.m. at St. Mary’s Church, 3055 Main St., Barnstable.
Prospective members are welcome to attend either or both open rehearsals with no commitment. Cape Cod Chorale does not hold auditions, although singers may require a brief vocal placement to help determine the most comfortable section.
This season’s December concerts, “Northern Lights,”
will take audiences on a musical journey inspired by the beauty of northern skies and landscapes—think Frozen—as well as themes of peace, hope, and the holiday season. Performances will be held Saturday and Sunday, December 12 and 13, at 4 p.m.
The program will include music in English, Swedish, Norwegian, and German, although nearly all of the concert will be in English. Rehearsal tracks are provided to help singers learn their music, and members who speak Norwegian and German are available to lend a hand with pronunciation and language questions.
The concerts will also feature audience participation, including a carol sing-along and a surprise “Pop-Up “Hallelujah” Chorus from Handel’s Messiah, when audience members will be invited to join the chorus in singing.
While singers do need to be able to match pitch and learn a musical part, the chorus provides substantial support for learning music and developing healthy vocal technique. Members describe the group as friendly and welcoming, with plenty of help available for singers of all levels of experience.
Cape Cod Chorale is especially interested in welcoming basses and tenors, although singers of all voice parts are encouraged to attend. 
OPEN REHEARSALS 
Monday, September 14 and Monday, September 21 
7–9 p.m. 
St. Mary’s Church 
3055 Main St., Barnstable
For more information, contact Membership Director (and Soprano) Alison McMurry at: alisonsinging@gmail.com
Cape Cod Chorale looks forward to meeting new singers—and making music together this season!
