The concert season usually consists of a holiday concert in December (presented jointly with the Ypsilanti Community Band); a spring concert in early May ; and a performance during Ypsilanti's Heritage Festival in August. Specific concert dates appear below.

In addition the choir performs upon request at community events such as the Ypsilanti Festival of Lights, as well as for special audiences such as the residents of Gilbert Retirement Center in Ypsilanti. Availability of the group to sing for specific events will depend on the schedule of the choir members and prior commitments of the choir as a whole. For more information on how to engage the group for these events contact a board member.
