SummerSings

Have you missed singing with others in person? You’re invited to join members of the Cathedral Choral Society to shake the dust off your vocal cords in a series of summertime community singing events. Or, you’re welcome to come and just listen as live music returns!
There is no charge for CCS SummerSings, and sheet music will be provided for you upon arrival.
Please read the registration information carefully before you register.
