Mount Desert Summer Chorale

How to Join


We invite you to add more great music to your life by joining us to sing this summer. The Mount Desert Summer Chorale has some 70 members. Under the direction of Arizona State University music professor David Schildkret, the Chorale prepares a major work during 6 weeks or so each summer on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Performances take place the first weekend in August, with guest soloists and professional instrumentalists.

No audition is required. It's a limited 6-week commitment, from late June to early August. Because of the short time frame, consistent rehearsal attendance is necessary (see our rehearsal calendar).

What better thing to accomplish this summer than to learn some new pieces, improve your vocal technique, get to know some fellow singers, strive for performance excellence before an appreciative audience, and share a chuckle or two along the way? We invite you to sign up now!

Info for 2011:

The tentative calendar and program can be seen here.

Dues for 2011 are $50 per singer before June 10th, $55 after June 10th. Your dues cover all materials (musical scores, study audio), and these will be shipped to you as soon as they become available. Singers will need a 3-ring binder to put the hole-punched pages into. The first rehearsal is Wednesday, June 29, at 7pm at St. Saviour's church in Bar Harbor.

All singers have access to study audio tracks posted on our web site member's area, for download or online listening.

Scholarships (fee waivers) are available to student singers and in certain other hardship circumstances. This is made possible by the Al and Eva Meyer Scholarship Fund. To be considered, please indicate on your registration form and do not send payment.
