Under the direction of Cheryl Anderson, the Cabrillo Symphonic Chorus has toured throughout the finest concert halls in the United States and Europe. The Chorus traveled to Ireland in June 2009 to perform Messiah in Dublin in celebration of the 250th anniversary of Handel's death. They recently sang the GALA opening of Cabrillo’s Crocker Theater and performed the Dedicatory Recital of Cabrillo’s New Music Recital Hall with a performance of Handel’s Messiah with orchestra.

Advance tickets are available at the Cabrillo Box Office 831-479-6331, or at the door: $20 general admission/$18 students under age 12 & seniors. Proceeds support the Chorus’ scholarship program.

    ChristianColorJune2009_cropt.jpgChristian Grube, the Chorale's Artistic Director, is Emeritus Professor of choral conducting at the Berlin University of Arts. His choirs are known for their superb sound, impeccable intonation, broad range of dynamic expression, and ability to interpret the most diverse styles. They have been praised for their rendition of motets, madrigals and masses of the Renaissance, and also for their performances of romantic and modern choral works. On one of the three tours of his Chamber Choir to the U.S., the reviewer of the Washington Post called the performance in Washington, D.C., "the best choral concert I have heard this year."
