COSMO/Silicon Valley Community Chorus (www.choralcosmo.com)

Calling all shower singers, closet vocalists, and music enthusiasts! Our community chorus is open to all, regardless of past vocal experience. Founded in 1998, COSMO enjoys singing many genres of music including sacred music, Broadway musicals, American standards, jazz, opera, etc. We often sing in multiple languages– past repertoires included songs in Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, German, Italian, and French. Every year, we create practice files on music and pronunciation for each vocal part to listen to– experience reading music is highly recommended but not required.

Although COSMO is open to all ages, many of our members work 9 to 5. Our practices are held each Wednesday night from 7:30 to 9:30 at Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Palo Alto.

Our annual concert, held in March, consists of singers, as well as a small band to accompany. We also choreograph dances for volunteer singers to perform each year, and invite performers from the community to choreograph their own dances to accompany our music. Our annual concert is well attended by the local community. Besides the annual concert, we attend musical gatherings and appear at various charitable functions.

The group was originally started in 1988.  The name of the group was changed from "Choral Cosmo" to "COSMO" in 2018.
