Information about Joining
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 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 are happy to have people choose to 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. Click here.
* Note that while the Faith Evangelical Free Church graciously hosts our rehearsals, the Acton Community Chorus is not church-affiliated.

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.
Attendance Policy
Being in rehearsal is important not only so that members can learn the music, but also to help everyone else in the room have the best musical experience. Therefore, we ask that you miss no more than 3 rehearsals per term. Zooming into rehearsal is possible for when you are out of town or feeling ill. However, you must attend more than half of rehearsals and all dress rehearsals in person in order to sing in the concert.
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.
Accessibility
We do our best to be accessible to all. Our rehearsal space is wheelchair accessible, and we do our best to make sure our performance venues are accessible as well. Music can be enlarged and is provided digitally to use on an iPad or other device. Stands can be used during rehearsals and performance, and we are happy to provide chairs for use in rehearsal and performance. Please contact us if there is another way you may need support to be a part of our community!
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.
