With
a long tradition of excellence in music, the Saddleback College Vocal Program
continues building on that tradition with the very finest in both standard
vocal repertoire and the music of the cutting edge. The three primary choirs on
campus include the Community Chorale, Concert Choir, and Women’s Camerata,
which perform many concerts around the area throughout the school year.
Membership is open in all three ensembles with the successful completion of a
vocal placement interview at the beginning of each semester. In addition to
beginning, intermediate, and advanced-level vocal classes, Saddleback College
offers private voice lessons to a select few vocalists who are planning on
pursuing degrees in vocal performance at the University or Conservatory level.
Past students in the Applied Music program have been accepted to prestigious
music schools across the country. In addition, Saddleback College is proud to
be one of a handful of community colleges in the state which offer its students
the opportunity to perform in operas and opera scenes each semester.
