More than concerts:

community service and travel too!

Monthly Sing-a-long at Plymouth Harbor

Each month many members of the DeKalb Choral Guild and their friends volunteer at a local day program for older adults. Together we lead a "Sing-a-long with the DCG" with the guests at Plymouth Harbor Day Community on each Second Thursday. We bring guitars, song books, smiles, our voices and our great love of sharing music with others.

Tours and Travel

Travel is an exciting part of the DeKalb Choral Guild and plans are in the works for a choral tour of Ireland in the Fall of 2021. 

Some previous tours were to Charleston S,C,. Germany/Czech Republic and to Italy.

The DeKalb Choral Guild is an auditioned choir of mixed voices, counting among its numbers people from all walks of life, including some career musicians. Our age range spans multiple decades, and, while our rehearsal and performance base is Avondale Estates/Decatur, GA, we come from all over the metro Atlanta area.

Singers provide their own concert attire (black tuxedo with black vest and bow tie for men, black uniform dress for ladies) and black folder. A participation fee of $150 helps defray the cost of music and overheads. The cost of the ladies' outfit is approximately $95.  Singers enjoy weekly opportunities to immerse themselves in wonderful musical repertoire ranging from classic choral works to unique finds and commissioned pieces.

We benefit from quality vocal and musical education, and the fun and unity one finds through shared experience and community.
