Visit a Rehearsal

Visiting a rehearsal is the best way to experience The Tower Chorale. You’ll meet the people, hear the music as it’s shaped in rehearsal, and get a feel for what rehearsal is like, and whether it feels like the right musical home for you.

After Your Visit

After a rehearsal, the Music Director may invite visitors to stay for a few minutes.

This informal conversation often involves singing around a piano, allowing the Director to get a sense of musical comfort and fit — and giving you an opportunity to ask questions and explore next steps.

This step is conversational and exploratory, not formal or scheduled, and may happen on first visit, a later visit, or when timing is right.

Request a Rehearsal Visit

After you submit this form, a member of our membership team will be in touch by email — usually within a day or two — with rehearsal details and what to expect when you arrive.

There’s no obligation, and no pressure to decide anything before you’ve experienced a rehearsal.

Let us know you’re coming — we’ll take it from there.

It’s optional to tell us a little about your singing background — or ask a question.

Visiting a rehearsal is simply an opportunity to explore — for you and for us.

We believe the strongest musical experiences grow from shared commitment, mutual fit, and the joy of making music together.
