‘An American Kaleidoscope’ presented by Oneida Area Civic Chorale

The Oneida Area Civic Chorale, New York State is a non-auditioned community chorus that has been performing in the Oneida area since 1967.  The OACC presents three major concerts each season: a holiday concert in early December, a concert in mid-March, and the season finale in mid to late May.  Guest vocalists, narrators, and instrumentalists have contributed to the performances over the years.  Several composers have been commissioned to write for and participate with the chorale as well.   The Chorale continually strives to encourage community involvement in the choral arts by sharing the joy of singing with audiences of all ages.

In 2023, the choir travels overseas on a first time concert tour.  Performances include St Patrick’s Cathedral,  Dublin, Stirling Castle, Scotland and St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh.

The choir brings an eclectic mix of musical styles from the United Stated which include contemporary  choral composers, folk music and spirituals, Irish and Scottish music arranged by American composers and top off with a selection of songs from the American Songbook.
