Pacific Chorale
Singers
In 1968, when the very first audition call went out for the group that would come to be known as Pacific Chorale, conductor Maurice Allard nervously stated, “If 35 show up for auditions, I’ll take all 35.” His nerves must have been calmed when 116 people turned out, affirming Orange County’s love of choral singing!
Today more than 200 singers, both staff and volunteer, make up Pacific Chorale’s performing roster. Hailing from all walks of life, these talented and dedicated individuals unite over their shared love of choral music. To be a member of the Chorale, they must pass a rigorous audition and commit to an intense rehearsal and performance schedule–which they do with aplomb!
