We rehearse every Monday night during the school year from 7:30 to 9:15 pm at the *Faith Evangelical Free Church (54 Hosmer Street, Acton). Exceptions are noted in our schedule, available at the beginning of each season.
The first and second rehearsal is open to all and provides an opportunity for interested singers to come and meet our members, Director, and Accompanist and to test out the Acton Community Chorus experience. Rehearsals begin promptly at 7:30, so singers are asked to arrive by 7:15 to allow time for sign-in, music distribution and other administrative tasks. Rehearsals end at 9:15 pm. At this time we are asking that all members be vaccinated and wear masks during rehearsals. We continue to re-evaluate as numbers change in our county. Feel free to contact us at any time about membership.

Other Information
Musical Ability
Our members’ musical ability ranges from no previous choral experience to substantial vocal training. Some of us are learning to read music; others are practiced sight-readers. We range in age from teenagers (18+) through senior citizens. We are business people, students, educators, engineers, homemakers, and retirees. Through singing, we give of ourselves to each other as well as to our community, and enrich our own lives in doing so.
Membership Fees
Our members pay dues of $85 each singing season (Winter & Spring). There is an additional music fee of $15. These dues, as well as yearly fundraising and concert ticket sales, cover our expenses for the year including Director and Accompanist compensation, space rentals for rehearsals and concerts, sheet music purchase and other creative or administrative expenses incurred.
Financial Assistance
Those who cannot afford to pay the membership dues but would like to sing are encouraged to make arrangements with ACC's President to pay what they honorably can. No one will be denied the opportunity to sing because of an inability to pay the dues.
