The choir "flourishes in the incomparable sound of many voices unified in tone and spirit, blooming in the radiant phrases of Brahms, soaring on warmth of feeling, perfectly tendered... In pitch, blend, range, balance and variety of sonority, this choral instrument is excellent."...Robert Commanday,  San Francisco Chronicle

SFBACC Bon Voyage Concert!
June 19, 2010  7PM
Eden United Church of Christ, Hayward

We're about to embark on a 2-week singing tour to Turkey in late June!   Come here us sing our one and only concert before we depart.  

Under the direction of director David Stein, our 28-voice traveling choir will present selections from our 32-song repertoire, which ranges from Renaissance motets to contemporary American secular music to Sprituals.  This will be our 12th overseas trip since the choir was founded in 1978.

We will perform on Saturday, June 19  at 7PM at Eden United Church of Christ in Hayward.

There is a suggested donation of $15, or $10 for seniors and students.

We'd love to see you in the audience!

SFBACC Fall 2010 Concerts
November 13-14, 2010

This fall, we once again look forward to performing under the direction of guest conductor Steven Brunsvold.  Steve directed our April 2010 "Love and the Unknown" program and we are very happy to have him back at the helm for our concerts on Saturday, November 13 and Sunday, November 14.  

We'll post details about the concerts, including the program and venues, as they become available.  

We hope you'll join us! 

Auditions

We are always on the lookout for experienced singers.   Prospective singers should have extensive choral experience, excellent reading and musicianship skills, and should be dedicated to the art of choral singing.  

If you are interested in inquiring about auditions, please contact us  for further information by e-mailing us at auditions@sfbaychoir.org. 

When you write, please let us know what part you sing and provide a brief summary of your singing experience. 

The choir usually rehearses on Sunday evenings from 6-9 at Faith Lutheran Church in Castro Valley, with at least one longer rehearsal scheduled each season for a Sunday afternoon and evening about a month before our scheduled concerts.  We begin rehearsals in late August for our annual Fall concerts in November, and we begin rehearsals each January for our annual Spring concerts in April. 

SFBACC Travels 

SFBACC has traveled extensively since its founding in 1978.  We'll be traveling again this summer, with a 2-week concert tour of Turkey.

Our most recent tour, which took us to France in the Summer of 2006, was the choir's 11th overseas tour since the choir visited  Lucerne, Switzerland to participate in the 1979 Europa Cantat festival.   

In addition to our own visits to other countries over the past 32 years, we have also hosted several European choirs here in the Bay Area, including the Nicolai Chamber Choir from Stockholm, Sweden; the Westphalian Chamber Choir from Münster, Germany; the Malmö Chamber Choir from Malmö, Sweden; the Charles University Choir from Prague; and the Camerata Vocale Hannover.
