Join TRANScend Chorale

How to Join The Chorale

TRANScend Chorale is at capacity for the Fall/Winter 2026 Season. We will re-open the submission form when we are able to accommodate new members.

Community Chorale is not auditioned, but all potential members will meet with the director prior to joining in order to receive more information about the choir, assess musical experience, and determine voice part.

Who Should Join

No prior experience in choral settings is needed, and many of our members do not read sheet music. Difficulty levels of the music range from easy to moderately challenging, and practice tools are provided for all members.

While our choir is centered around gender expansive voices, singers of all gender identities are welcome to join.

Rehearsals & Performances

TRANScend Chorale meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 pm in Manhattan near Herald Square.

Fall/Winter semesters run from September - December, with a Holiday Concert in December.

Spring/Summer Semesters run from February - June, with a Spring Break in April, and a Pride Concert in June.

member expectations

Dues:

The chorus will collect dues from members once in the Fall/Winter season, and once in the Spring/Summer season to help fund choir performances and events. The dues are on a sliding scale of $0-$60 a semester, with a target of $20 per member, and will be collected by Choir leadership at the beginning of the season.

Concert dress:

Each member’s personal comfort, authenticity, and personal expression are essential to our concert attire. Performance dress requirements will always strike a balance between individual expression, uniformity, and formality appropriate to the venue. The only requirement is that members dress in our choir colors, which are shades of teal, purple, and gold.
