The Choral Society is open to anyone with recent choral singing experience. New singers are accepted at the beginning of each season (late August/early September, and January). To schedule an audition or for additional membership information, contact Dr. James John, Music Director at (718) 997-3818 or e-mail jmsjhn@aol.com .
Dues for Choral Society members are $85 per semester, which help cover the many costs associated with creating live concerts. Current Queens College students who sing with the ensemble for credit are are not required to pay dues, and recent alumni (within four semesters of graduation) are offered membership at half-price.

Also for 2009-2010, QCCS is launching a new high school outreach program. All offerings include free membership or a reduction in dues, as well as other advantages such as free tickets to concerts and In-Service credit for teachers who qualify:

Partnership Program: High school choral directors bring a quartet of student singers to sing with QCCS.
Family Membership: Adults or family members who love to sing may join QCCS together with a high school student.
Five for Five Audience Participation: Groups of five audience members, comprised of one adult chaperone and four high school students, receive $5 tickets to any QCCS concert. Larger group discounts are also available.
