A Word From the Artistic Director/Conductor

This is a quick shout-out inviting you to our upcoming performances and sharing a few photos and a video from our jazz festival we went to at Cuesta College. I hope we will see you at one of our performances, and if you are a former chorale member, consider returning to the group this Spring. Our Spring concert will feature music from the Beach Boys and music from Hawaii!

Torrance Civic Chorale

WINTER FAMILY CELEBRATION

Cuesta College Jazz Festival

The Torrance Jazz Singers, AKA the Torrance Civic Vocal Jazz Ensemble, traveled to San Luis Obispo on November 7 to perform at the Cuesta College Vocal Jazz Festival. They performed to an enthusiastic audience, had a wonderful clinic, and ended the day seeing the New York Voices in concert!

Torrance Memorial Holiday Festival

One of our annual performances is the Torrance Memorial Festival of Trees of Holiday Festival. It's a great fundraiser they have each year that brings together the Torrance and South Bay community with many performances from school and local groups of all kinds under the big tent at the hospital. This year on December 4, again both of our groups performed a preview of our Winter concert.
