Truckee Tahoe Community Chorus

Founded in 2002, the Truckee Tahoe Community Chorus is a diverse community of individuals joined in their common love of singing and performing choral music.  Our Vision is 

Elevating Lives Through Song

• Elevating refers to our desire for excellence, quality, learning, well-being and our location in the mountains
• Lives incorporates the individuals that make up the chorus, the chorus community and the broader community we influence
• Song encompasses the act of singing, the presentation/sharing of choral music and listening to the performance

Our 60-member group meets weekly at the Sierra College Tahoe-Truckee campus to rehearse concert music and learn vocal techniques under the direction of Brittney May, a faculty member at the University of Nevada, Reno. The chorus performs two concert series each season.  The Diablo Valley College Symphonic Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Own Lee, joins TTCC for the spring concert series and a professional string quartet accompanies the winter concerts.  TTCC also performs by invitation at holiday gatherings, public and private events, and church celebrations.

TTCC supports youth vocal performance with the Truckee Tahoe Youth Chorus and annual scholarships for college bound students to pursue music education.

Truckee Tahoe Community Chorus artistic, youth education, and community programs would not be possible without the generous support of individuals, organizations and businesses.

 Thank You!
