Who We Are
Oak City Voices is a women’s chorus based in Cary, NC, celebrating our 10th season of making beautiful music together. We welcome new singers who love harmony, friendship, and community.
If you enjoy singing and can read basic music, we’d love to have you! We rehearse weekly on Tuesdays, perform at least twice a year, and welcome singers of all experience levels. No audition is required.
Our next Meet & Greet is August 18, 2026 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Cary. Come sing with us, meet our director Rusty McKinney, and enjoy refreshments with the chorus.
