We are a group of singers from the greater Sacramento area who are dedicated to the advancement of choral music. Established in 1982, the singers delight, challenge, and inspire their audiences with seasons programmed to include premieres, classics, and a wide variety of musical periods and styles.
The Sacramento Master Singers has started rehearsals, but it’s not too late to join our group. We still have a few openings in our stellar bass and tenor sections. Please contact auditions@mastersingers.org or call us at 916.788.7464 to schedule an audition.

2018-2019 marks the 35th season under the name Sacramento Master Singers, and we have a triptych of programs worthy of the celebration! We’ll start with our signature holiday progam, continue with a stunning new work celebrating the life of Harriet Tubman by Ron Kean, and conclude with a wild celebration of songs from the movies!
HOLIDAY CONCERT
Sun, Dec 9, at 3pm | Sat, Dec 15, at 7pm | Sun, Dec 16, at 3pm | Tues, Dec 18, at 7pm | Thurs, Dec 20, at 7pm
Luxuriate in the warmth and beauty of Christmas music this holiday season at A Master Singers Christmas. Commencing with an opening candlelight processional, audiences are surrounded by aural sonority and spectacle as the choir performs a wide range of repertoire, from traditional melodies to the latest in multicultural songs and timeless carols. Hear Mack Wilberg’s O Great Mystery, traditional Irish chant, and English carols. At your request we offer you the Pentatonix White Winter Hymnal with entertaining hand jive, as well as several new (crazy!) arrangements of holiday favorite tunes. Join us at one of our new venue options and experience the family — and Sacramento — tradition: A Master Singers Christmas.
MARCH CONCERT
Sat, Mar 9th, at 7pm | Sun, Mar 10th, at 3pm
The Master Singers are pleased to present the Sacramento premiere of Ron Kean’s five-movement The Journey of Harriet Tubman. In retelling the story of the life of the Underground Railroad’s most famous “conductor,” Kean weaves new songs with powerful, updated arrangements of spirituals to create this tribute to an undeniably American hero. SMS is fully committed to supporting budding choral musicians, so we’re inviting two area high schools to join us for each of the two concerts. Check our website later in the season to discover which youthful choirs will be dazzling you!
MAY CONCERT
Fri, May 10th, at 7:30pm | Sat, May 11th, at 3pm
What could be more fun than to end our 35th season with Master Singers Go to the Movies. Expect the red carpet treatment as you arrive for this concert which will feature music from classics like An American in Paris, comedy crime stories such as Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, to Sacramento favorites such as Lady Bird. You’ll likely be tempted to sing along on This is Me (The Greatest Showman), Over the Rainbow (Wizard of Oz), and Double Toil (Harry Potter 3). Who knows…perhaps we’ll include a fun opening cartoon, some movie trailers, and a mystery pianist on a silent film clip! Conductor Hughes is interested in hearing what choral works from the movies you’d like us to sing, so drop him a line at suggestions@mastersingers.org.
