Join the
Dubuque Chorale
If you love to sing, you already have what it takes to be part of the Dubuque Chorale. We provide music, support, and guidance to help every member grow as a singer and performer.
Registration for the 2025/26 season is closed, but stay tuned for information on how to join us next season!
How to Become a
Chorale Member
Membership in the Dubuque Chorale is open to high school, college, and adult singers from the tri-state area. Adults of all ages are encouraged to participate in this nonprofit musical organization which is dedicated to improving the musical skills of its singers and providing quality musical entertainment for its audiences. No audition is required. The Children’s Choirs are for students in grades 3–6 who are participating in their own school’s music program.
To join the Chorale, simply fill out the registration form (coming soon for the 2026/27 season!) and attend the next rehearsal for the first concert you plan to sing in. If you have questions, you can email the one of our section coordinators or our Artistic Director, Dr. Amanda Huntleigh.
