Performances will take place at 11AM, 3PM and 7PM, with each choir having a 15-minute slot. Five choirs will participate in each concert session, which will conclude with a massed choir sing, including the audience. The Consortium hosts this festival every two years, but the choirs have not convened since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously held at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park, this year’s event will take place in the acoustically outstanding Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad. ASL interpretation will be provided.

About Choral Consortium of San Diego
The Choral Consortium of San Diego is a service organization composed of choruses and individuals who support the choral art from throughout San Diego County. CCSD was founded in 2010 by leaders of area choirs, in response to a need for better communication and coordination among the choirs, particularly in scheduling concerts on non-conflicting dates. Benefits include sharing resources, promoting each other’s concerts, and developing community-wide programs to highlight the many opportunities to sing in choirs.
See you there, San Diego!
