- The Rockville Chorus maintains an outreach group called the Rockville Singers consisting of 20-30 voices. This smaller scale group performs at venues that are not large enough to accommodate the entire 50 member Chorus. The Rockville Singers (formed in 1999) perform eight to ten times a year and present a different repertoire of music from the Rockville Chorus.
