The Treblemakers is your local adult community chorus in Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
Membership is open to all who love to sing–no audition is required! We convene for a spring season from January to June and a fall season from September to December. Each season culminates in a concert weekend featuring shows on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. Additional performance opportunities sometimes come up; our beautiful The Star Spangled Banner arrangement is particularly requested.
During the season, we gather to rehearse at The Hopkinton Center for the Arts on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Members are also expected to work on their music between rehearsals, using provided practice tracks. Note: We have not, traditionally, held full rehearsals during school vacation weeks. We are dedicated to sharing the joy we find in music with each other and with everyone in our communities. We strive for mutual respect, friendship, and fun, and to present quality performances wherever possible.
HCA Harmony
This ensemble is offered to singers who want to refine their musical talents in an unaccompanied (a cappella) ensemble. It will explore everything from Madrigals to Barbershop Quartets, Bach chorales, DooWop, and jazzy tight-harmony groups like Singers Unlimited and Pentatonix.
The group performs with the Treblemakers at their Spring and Winter concerts. Experience in a choir is helpful, and any level of reading music is important to this ensemble. Singers must complete an audition to join this ensemble class. To audition, please fill out the form below or email info@hopartscenter.org.

The Junior Troublemakers is a vocal performance ensemble focused on singing a varied repertoire to grow as musicians and performers and to inspire their audiences! This includes musical theater, classical, folk, pop, rock, and choral style pieces. Participants work on singing in harmony and canon and expand on music literacy and basic vocal techniques. There will be solo opportunities at performances.
