The American River Chorus, the 60-member men's chorus that performs mostly in a barbershop style, is developing a reputation for collaborating with other local choruses. Last December, their concert included the Sacramento Capitolaires, RSVP, and the Oasis Chamber Choir. In June they joined with the Sacramento Gay Men's Chorus to give a benefit concert for Francis House. And now their Christmas concert coming up in December at Three Stages in Folsom will include the women's chorus, Chanteuses, as guest performers.
Although it makes logistics a bit more difficult, this interesting strategy makes for a more varied program, eases the burden of preparation on each chorus, and probably ensures a larger audience. Will this be a trend?
