The Vermont Symphony Orchestra Chorus is a statewide, volunteer vocal ensemble. The VSO Chorus has been under the wonderful direction of Robert De Cormier since its inception in 1993 and performs at least once annually with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.

We rehearse for up to six weeks before a performance; on Saturdays (during the academic year) and Tuesdays (during the summer), . Rehearsal locales vary statewide but include Burlington, Middlebury, Montpelier and Rutland.
