Attention prospective members
Sing With Us on October 19th!
Are you an experienced singer looking for a choral home? Check us out during an Open Rehearsal on Monday, October 19 at 7:00 pm at Daytona State College.
This is an excellent chance to meet the director and choir members, and experience a typical rehearsal firsthand. We will be singing music for our December Christmas concert. If you feel the group is a good fit, you'll have the opportunity to arrange an audition for the choir.
We rehearse at Daytona State College, in the Goddard Center, bldg. 230. Park in parking lot S and enter on that side of the building. Call or text director Adam Stich for more information.
We hope to see you there!

Audience feedback
May 2026 Concert "We Hold These Truths"
"Bel Canto has established a long history of excellent performances, and this is one of their greatest. The image & sound of all 3 choirs surrounding the stage and side aisles totally enveloped everyone in that piece. Please do it again!"
"It is an excellent group of amazing singers!"
"I sang with Bel Canto some years ago so I know the effort it takes to pull off a magnificent concert like this. I found myself sobbing a few times and can't remember the last time I was moved to such an emotional depth. Bravo and kudos to all."
"Music selection was very good and the quality of voices and orchestra was impressive."
Sing With Us!
We invite experienced singers to join the Halifax Master Chorale. Membership is by audition-only, with selections based on criteria such as singing ability, blend, sectional balance, and vocal needs for the season.
Twice per year, in January and August/September, we offer an open rehearsal and invite new singers to join us. If the group proves to be a good fit, you can then sign up for an audition slot. Auditions may also be scheduled by request throughout the year.
We rehearse weekly on Monday evenings from 7 pm-9 pm in Daytona Beach, August/September through May, and take the summer off. Additional rehearsals may be scheduled by the director as needed throughout the season. We perform 5-6 concerts each year, including our popular Christmas Concert and Pops Concerts.

The Chorale was honored to receive a $2,000 grant from the Latitude Daytona Beach Foundation for 2026. Treasurer Patty Blais, Vice President Beth Pierce, and choir member Wendy Swank accepted the award on behalf of the choir at a May 1st Day of Giving event. The Foundation is affiliated with the Latitude Margaritaville development in Daytona Beach and is supported by its residents. We appreciate their support!
