Uniting People Through Music

---

From its beginnings singing Handel's Messiah in 1979, the Chamber Singers are a 70-voice adult chorus, directed by Craig Bond, presents major choral works with orchestral accompaniment This audition choir is a joyful family of singers with diverse backgrounds who currently (at least pre-Covid) produce two concerts each year - and is famed locally for its annual Christmas performances!

Craig Bond and Melissa Bond teach choral principles and direct this choir for children ages 8 to 12. The children perform two to three concerts a year, participate in competitions, and occasional special events...such as singing the National Anthem to open San Francisco Giants games! Tuition varies per semester and scholarships are available.

Craig Bond and Melissa Bond teach choral principles and direct this choir which showcases local teenagers who perform twice a year, often in conjunction with the St. Helena Children's Chorus. Some students graduate with TEN YEARS of musical fun with Mr Bond's choirs! And yes, they get to sing at the Giants games, too!

Craig Bond pursues his love of vocal jazz harmonies directing this small, invitation-only group, which has become well-known in the Napa Valley. The ensemble, most of whom are 'home-grown' St Helenans, perform three to five concerts each year, as well as smaller shows at local wineries.  

The Choral Society has partnered for several years with the Fabulous House Jacks, an astonishingly talented a cappella group, and the St Helena High School Choir for a two-day singing workshop that culminates in a sizzling performance from both students and the Jacks! Most years, Jazz@7 Vocal Ensemble and another local a cappella group, Vocal Color, join in the fun!

The hard work, the performances—and the fun—of our award-winning choral programs, wake up the brilliance in each student, in each audience listener, as only music can. 

Our Napa Valley town is so fortunate to have this great tradition of choral music, which has built steadily over four decades under the dedicated direction of Craig Bond—and with your generous support.
