The Newport Navy Choristers is a group whose purpose is to raise money for charitable organizations and to have fun singing.  Membership is open to active duty, retired, and reserve military personnel of all the armed services and their dependents age 16 or over as well as Department of Defense civilian employees and their dependents. The Choristers have five major performances each year: "Christmas in Song" in Fall River and on Aquidneck Island in December, "Music for a Sunday Afternoon" on Aquidneck Island in March, "Music For a Lifetime" in conjunction with student choruses of the Newport schools in the Spring and "Proudly We Sing" in May.  Since the Newport Navy Choristers is a non-profit organization, these concerts are always sponsored by a service or civic group. There are no auditions for the main chorus.  Dues are $12 per semester for an individual or $18 for a family.  Rehearsals are held at 6:15 PM on Tuesdays from September to May.  If you are interested in joining the Choristers, refer to the Contact Information page for ways to get in touch with us.   Click on the image at left to see the program performed by the Choristers on March 4, 2001 (Music for a Sunday Afternoon).  The proceeds from this concert went to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society for the USS COLE Memorial Fund, which was established to aid families of servicemen who lost their lives in the attack on COLE.
