Season Overview
REGISTRATION FOR 2026 IS NOW CLOSED.
This season, Lisa is leading monthly in-person rehearsals for the season in Carmel, as well as an immersive, day-long retreat and concerts. She will be supported by our amazing team of section leaders who have been trained by Lisa to teach the songs and their different vocal parts at some practices, and our guest songleader Lyndsey Scott will also lead a rehearsal. The season culminates in three concerts in October.. We will offer a special public matinee at Hidden Valley Music Seminars on Saturday, October 17, as well as a concert on October 18 at a venue to be announced and the Sunset Center on Tuesday, October 20th.
Season Schedule
We gather in the Fiesta Room at Hacienda Carmel, located at 1000 Hacienda Carmel off Carmel Valley Road.
When possible, please carpool or park farther away so that closer parking remains available for elders and those with physical limitations.

This season we will be tracking reherasal attendance. Due to concert venue limitations, we may require singers attend a certain minimum number (6 or more) of the rehearsals in order to join us onstage at the concerts. Central Coast singers are more than welcome to attend any rehearsal or retreat in San Diego as well, if you wish to travel. We will do out best to support you with free guest housing with a San Diego choir member.
