Description

Sonoro Choral Society is currently comprised of two performing ensembles, the Sonoro Women’s Choir (SWC) and the Sonoro Scandinavian Children’s Choir (SSCC). The principal chorus, the SWC, was originally founded in 2007 as a mixed choir but reorganized as a women’s choir in 2011. Since then the women’s choir has blossomed from a small group of non-auditioned singers to a vetted chorus of approximately 30 high caliber vocalists. The SWC performs a wide range of choral literature from large works such as Gustav Holst’s “Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda” to cutting edge contemporary pieces by Ola Gjeilo to popular show tunes.
