Tomorrow’s the Day

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the Big Day of Giving.  We hope that you find it in your hearts to include RCC in your generous donations for non-profits of the greater Sacramento area!

Since 1977 the River City Chorale has provided beautiful music of all genres to this community. We are especially proud of the fact that we bring that music to suburban areas particularly in appealing to seniors who may have financial or practical challenges in partaking of similar artistic groups.

There are so many worthy causes to consider in the Big Day of Giving. The members of RCC think that we provide a special service to our community, we keep our ticket prices low, offer a very eclectic selection of music, and, most of all, present our concerts in venues that are readily accessible and located in beautiful suburban settings.

Please help us to continue to provide this unique community service!

 You don't have to wait till tomorrow - you can donate now!

Race for the Arts Fundraiser is coming!

Support the River City Chorale by sponsoring one of our members participating in the 26th Annual Race for the Arts event. Your donations will help us continue the choir’s mission fo inspire and enrich our community through beautiful music.
