Conviction
We believe the world is a better place when people sing together. OCC rehearsals and performances offer a special experience where people with differing socioeconomic, political, racial, and religious perspectives gather to encourage, enjoy, and do something meaningful together. A vibrant community chorus unites diverse people across cultural and political divides.
Membership Experience
We want our members to feel they are part of a thriving choral community. Excellent participant experience is a priority in our weekly rehearsals, which are both rigorous and joyful. Singers enjoy the mental and physical benefits of being part of a choir where they feel valued, challenged, and supported.
