✨✨ Auditions are now open

Most choirs ask you to sing. C3LA asks you to cooperate, across: programming, conducting, composing, marketing, fundraising, artistic planning and administration.

Everyone brings something different, and everyone’s voice helps shape what we are and how we do it.

If you’re the kind of musician who wants to contribute to something, you’ll fit right in.

🎶Auditions are open through August 14. Link in bio.

🎶 Do you like it weird?

Good. So do we! 🌚

We’re the kind of choral ensemble where singers are also composers, conductors, collaborators and even choreographers.

If you’ve been looking for something a little different...

👀 Stay tuned.

For anyone who’s new here, we only perform music written in the past 25 years and this concert is no different. We will be premiering several new works from our members, like Margaret McGlynn’s new piece being rehearsed here, Wide Net.
