Celebrate Learning as a Life-Long Adventure!

Do you love to sing? Would you enjoy singing great music with a group of fellow music-lovers who are serious about music and about having fun at the same time?
Join the SNC Chorus. We are a high-level performing group made up of community members as well as SNC undergraduate students. We perform 3 concerts: a Winter Concert in early December; A Spring Concert in April; and a "Broadway" Concert in mid –May, on the Wednesday before the college's graduation.
We meet Monday evenings during the SNC semester. Fall semester rehearsals start the Monday after Labor Day and Spring semester rehearsals start the Monday after Martin Luther King Day.
SNC offers a variety of summer workshops given by nationally known ceramists, glass artists, painters, sculptors, printmakers, digital artists, musicians, photographers, paper makers, jewelers, and more.
On Tuesday night at 7pm, each week during the workshops, we'll host our "Meet the Artist" lecture in the Prim Library, which will be immediately followed by an informal reception in the Tahoe Gallery.
