The Washtenaw Chorale performs both sacred and secular music, often with local orchestras. The Chorale works from a base of sixty to seventy singers drawn from all over Washtenaw County and southeast Michigan.  Many members are or have been active in community and church choirs in the area.  Members are united by their love of singing classical music and the fellowship they enjoy together.  Over the past nine years, the Chorale has collaborated successfully with the Dexter Community Orchestra and the Ypsilanti Orchestra.  In the past, the Dexter High School Orchestra an the Dexter High School Choirs have joined us in our holiday season programs.

As a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, tax-deductible donations to support chorus expenses are always welcome.
