Join our Chamber Choir
Mission Statement
The Deer Creek Chamber Choir was established to provide an opportunity for choral artistry within a small, a cappella ensemble specifically for community outreach and personal enrichment. The Chamber Choir is an extension of the Deer Creek Chorale (DCC) and membership is determined by the needs of the group, advanced musicianship skills, a love of singing and a desire to give back to the community. Members of the Chamber Choir are selected from the members of DCC by appointment or audition.
