Imagine the thrill you will feel, singing on the stage of the Granada to a house full of eager supporters, facing the conductor--whether the Choral Society's own Music Director, JoAnne Wasserman, or perhaps Santa Barbara Symphony Conductor, Nir Kabaretti. Imagine being a part of yearly performances with other local arts organizations, such as 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.
