WHY WE dO THIS. We added a choral program to our investment in transformative artistic expression because there is something uniquely powerful about voices raised together in harmony. Singing as a group teaches people to listen, to collaborate, and to express emotion with vulnerability and strength. Chorus becomes a living symbol of unity—many voices coming together to create something beautiful and whole
ABOUT THE THROCKMORTON CHORUS
The Throckmorton Chorus is a vibrant and inclusive vocal ensemble that brings together voices from across our community. Rooted in a spirit of collaboration and creativity, the chorus provides a supportive space to explore vocal performance, musical expression, and the joy of singing together. Through a dynamic repertoire that spans genres and cultures, our singers learn not only the technical aspects of music but also the deeper values of teamwork, empathy, and confidence. The Throckmorton Chorus is a cornerstone of our arts programming—nurturing talent, building community, and inspiring audiences with every performance.
Tim Silva Choral Director, Ray Capital, Pianist
Throckmorton Chorus, inspired by Bay Area master accompanist, teacher and composer Joe Bloom, was formed in January 2014 to foster and share the art of choral music and offer an educational process that focuses on the pursuit of choral excellence in repertoire and performance. We focus on building skills and deepening an understanding of this rich music in a collaborative environment.
Today it is composed of about 30 singers who share a love of music and a desire to learn and grow in collaboration with others. Each season the repertoire includes a wide variety of styles allowing members to expand and deepen their skills and understanding of this rich music. The quality and artistry of the chorus, under the direction of Tim Silva continues to grow each season.
Rehearsals are held on Monday nights and each season culminates in a public concert at the theatre. The group is offered other seasonal opportunities to perform and contribute to the thriving artistic environment around us. Membership is by audition and subject to availability in your voice section. Auditions for new members are held in September each year. Returning members re-audition each September before the Fall season.
