Tapestry
The idea of a local chamber music group was formed when Christina Wilhelm, pianist and founder-director of the Santa Cruz Singers discovered a talented flutist, Anne Quirin, among it’s chorus members.  In 2004 the duo gave their first performance at an in home recital in Patagonia to benefit the Santa Cruz Singers.  Encouraged by the audience’s response and the success of the fund raiser, the duo expanded to include classical saxophonist Lance Hoopes in their next performance in 2005.  And so, the realization of a chamber group of dedicated musicians to be a permanent musical resource for the area was ignited.

Tapestry is unique……We are individual artists, classically trained and multi talented, who perform as soloists or together in both traditional and non-traditional ensembles.

We perform music for flute, harp, piano, voice, saxophone and clarinet.  In the future we will incorporate other instruments such as strings, brass and percussion.

Our repertoire is wide ranging and expansive including classical works and contemporary themes.

Santa Cruz Singers
The Santa Cruz Singers (SCS) is an independent non-profit organization which presents high quality formal performances though out Santa Cruz County and surrounding areas.

Since 2002, under the direction of founder Christina Wilhelm, SCS has provided the community with an opportunity to create choral music in a supportive environment.  The chorus is made up of about 25 men and women with a wide range of choral and musical experience.

The repertoire of the Singers is highly diversified.  In addition to our annual spring concert of favorite classics, the SCS performs a unique program of music at the mission chapel of Tumacacori National Historic Park.  A concert tour of the missions in Sonora, Mexico is being planned for next spring.

If you like to sing, enjoy working as part of a team and are willing to commit to 4 months (Jan-April) of scheduled rehearsals, you may be eligible to join our wonderful band of troubadours.  No formal training is required, but a willingness to learn is paramount.  We supply you with all the music, tools and support you need to become a valued member.
