Fall 2020 Chorus Survey and Member Forums

October 20, 2020

With a few months of fall behind us, and the holidays and planning for spring ahead, it feels like a good time to check in. We're hearing from many of you with questions about how choruses like yours are operating at this point in the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Fall 2020 Chorus Survey and Member Forums are designed to help answer these questions and inform your future planning.

    Chorus America will be hosting a series of Fall Member Forums on November 17-19.

    Fall 2020 Chorus Survey

    The Fall 2020 Chorus Survey collects data on the impact that COVID-19 continues to have on the choral field and how choruses are currently handling rehearsals and performances, planning for the spring, singer engagement, and more. The survey is open to all choruses in the U.S. and Canada, whether Chorus America members or not. We will share general results publicly, with more detailed responses available to Chorus America members and all survey participants. Results will be ready to share in mid-November.
