The Concert Singers of Cary is a volunteer organization. Membership means you have joined a musical community and have taken on your share of the responsibility for bringing first-rate musical performances to Cary and the Triangle region.

Annual Dues
The amount is determined annually by the Board of Directors. For the current year, dues of $75 are required of each member for each half (semester) of the year, if participating at all in that half, and may not be prorated nor refunded. Dues must be paid within the first month of the semester unless special arrangements are made with the Membership Administrator. We do offer a Membership Fee Subsidy program, to help anyone unable to pay the entire amount. Please email treasurer@concertsingers.org to apply.

When you pay your dues for a semester you are signaling that you intend to perform in all scheduled Symphonic Choir concerts for that semester.  Visit https://concertsingers.org/our-season/ for more concert information.  If you will not be participating in a particular concert, please inform your section leader as soon as possible.  Knowing who will be singing helps us ensure a balanced sound.

Music
Music for each concert will be bundled and sold at the first rehearsals for that concert cycle. Singers only need to purchase the music for the concerts in which they are performing, but may not receive the music until they have paid for it. The music is yours to keep and mark however you like, and cannot be returned once you take it. On some occasions, music is provided on loan by one of our collaborating orchestras, or on a rental basis as dictated by the copyright holder. In those cases, mark only in pencil, and be sure that you return it. You are highly encouraged to pay thru Paypal, but we also accept cash or check (payable to ‘CSC’). We do not refund music payments.

Concert Attire

There are three options for concert attire:

1. A standard black tuxedo (no tails), white shirt, cummerbund, and black tie.
2. The CSC black blouse and CSC black skirt, purchased through Formal Fashions.
3. The CSC black blouse and CSC black dress slacks, purchased through Formal Fashions.

Details (including allowed jewelry) will be provided upon joining the choir.  Current members can find information on the Other Guidelines page.
