Ordinary people making extraordinary music
Extraordinary Music During Extraordinary Times
Who could possibly have foreseen what this year would bring: a global pandemic, communities in turmoil, and most recently, fire. Like many performing arts organizations, SJSC faces new challenges and uncertainties.
As different as this time is, one thing remains constant: the importance of music in our lives, and our ability to connect to each other through its power and beauty.
We are so grateful to our members for their resilience and patience as we navigate new ways to sing together, and to our larger community who have supported us, and reached out during these months of sheltering.
Though we cannot be together in person right now, the energy of Fall and our Season 97 is upon us, and we look forward to connecting with you online, bringing music into all our lives, as we have done for nearly 100 years.
Thank You!

San Jose Symphonic Choir is a volunteer choral society of over 100 voices, performing choral masterworks and contemporary pieces under the inspiring leadership of Maestro Leroy Kromm. Throughout our 90+ years, we have maintained a strong connection with our community, performing in local venues with other local musicians and creating a musical community for our members.

"SJSC has provided me with unique opportunities to perform masterworks at a high level while maintaining a fun rehearsal environment. In my short time as a member, my life has been enriched by both the high level of instruction and the camaraderie among the members. Come sing with us!"

""What a rare gift to be able to bring art to life, and to share consistently excellent quality music in our community. The San Jose Symphonic Choir's invaluable contributions inspired me to help ensure that the work of these "ordinary people" reaches wider audiences for
years to come."

“What people are really seeking is hope and faith in something above and beyond what they see happening around them. Beautiful music brings the true and honest spirit of hope, as it has through the ages, and will through time eternal, into our souls, and satisfies the hungry heart.”
