The Aurora Singers is a non-profit community chorus of
about sixty mixed voices. We are based in Palo Alto,
but our choir members come from around the Bay Area and beyond. We prepare two
concert programs each year. Our December program draws from winter and
holiday music of all cultures, and our Spring concert is always devoted
exclusively to American music of all genres - folk, spirituals, pop, classic,
standards, show tunes - anything made in America!
Our mission is to bring quality, uplifting entertainment to people
who otherwise would not be able to enjoy live music. In fulfillment of this
mission, Aurora brings each concert to different venues such as
convalescent homes, veterans' hospitals, senior
centers, and retirement facilities. We also present each program to the public
as a benefit for the Unitarian Universalist Church
of Palo Alto, which generously provides our rehearsal space. The Aurora
Singers have been celebrating together in song since 1989.
Our extraordinary Musical Director is Dawn Reyen (pictured above), and our amazing accompanist is Nancy Lane.
We are also proud to have a sister choir, Assou Lezert Chorale of Albi, France, with whom we have had joint concerts on both sides of the Atlantic.
