Imagine the thrill YOU will feel, singing on the stage of the Granada to a house full of eager supporters, facing a director which is sometimes the spectacular woman Music Director of your own Chorus, JoAnne Wasserman, and sometimes the Santa Barbara Symphony Conductor, Nir Kabaretti. Imagine YOU being a part of yearly performances with other local arts organizations, such as the State Street Ballet, singing Carmina Burana, or a set of Beatles love songs.

YOU can be a part of all of this excitement ~ the thrill of top rate performances ~ here in beautiful Santa Barbara in one of the most magnificent houses in the world, the newly renovated Granada Theater.

YOU can audition for our group.
