A Message from Cheryl Anderson
Dear Friends,
It is my belief that when we do anything that requires the best we have to offer, it gives us a measurement for excellence throughout our lives. It causes us to want to repeat that quest for superlative achievement. It also affirms beauty and perfection, resonating within the listener. Singing well the great music of the world deeply involves the brain, the body, and the heart.

We are, therefore, on a mission of self-discovery. It will require the greatest effort to discipline our minds and bodies in order that our spirits can take us places we've never been before. As a tree deeply rooted in the earth, we must be deeply rooted in our knowledge of the ability to sing music of the masters. We are the luckiest people alive, because not only do we get to do this, but we get to do it together.

My mission is for all the technical and mechanical aspects of our music making to be in complete control: language, notes, character of entrances, tone quality, pitch, rhythm, etc. It is only then that we can provide that hallowed space between singer and listener. It is only then that the music from our hearts can touch another heart.

Our fall semester concert is Music for the Feast. This concert features choral works interspersed with audience sing-alongs of traditional Christmas carols. We are often accompanied by an orchestra or brass.
The Cabrillo Symphonic Chorus under the direction of Cheryl Anderson enjoys a stellar reputation at home in the Monterey Bay Area of California as well as internationally.
