Rehearsal Schedule

We practice every Monday evening starting from 6:30 to 9:00 at St. James Episcopal Church located at 208 Camino Santiago in Taos (at the corner of Gusdorf and Camino Santiago).   Your section leader may also schedule additional practice times - check the Rehearsal/Performance Calendar for details.

Please arrive early in order to begin rehearsal promptly at 6:30 pm.   Volunteers graciously provide tea-makings for the breaks.  Please help with donations to defray the cost of cups, napkins, tea, etc.   We encourage all members to volunteer to bring snacks.


Conductor - Tina Sandoval

Tina Sandoval moved to Taos in 2002 from Portland, Oregon.  She has years of experience in Portland and Taos as Director of Vocal and Choral Activities in middle schools, high schools, colleges, churches and community choirs.  She holds degrees in voice performance, vocal arts education and conducting from Northwestern University and Lewis and Clark College. “One of my greatest joys in directing choral groups is discovering music which inspires and reflects the beauty, artistry and power of voices singing together.”  It is her continuing goal to provide the Taos community with professional performances and instruction focusing on the Vocal Arts.

Thank you for your help!

The TCC concerts are beautifully presented because of the many volunteers (singers, friends and family) who commit their time and energy to helping with many tasks.  Volunteer for something you feel you can help with this season!  Such as…serving on the TCC Board, fundraising, stage preparation and breakdown, and more.  Thank you!"
