Celebrating Community and Sharing the Joy of Music

The Healdsburg Chorus, directed by Don Scott Carpenter, is a beloved musical institution now in its 38th year. The Healdsburg Chorus is comprised of community, non-professional singers, and welcomes new members for the Fall and Spring seasons. We perform twice-yearly in Healdsburg early in December during the holiday season and then again in the late April or early May.

Join us to enjoy the performances or as a performer — either way you can be a part of our musical community.

The Healdsburg Chorus is happy to announce the awarding of the 2026 Betty Zukov and Susan Nelson Music Scholarship.  Felicity Santo-Domingo and Natalia DeAndra are this years’ recipients. Both are musicians at Maria Carillo High School and will be graduating as part of the Class of 2026.

The Betty Zukov Music Scholarship was created in honor of the founding director of the Healdsburg Chorus, beloved teacher and Healdsburg resident Betty Zukov and long-time accompanist Susan Nelson. The annual scholarship is available to a graduating high school senior and Healdsburg resident with a history of involvement in music, a demonstrated talent in music, and an interest in a music-related career.

Further details and application form are available at the Healdsburg High School Counseling Office or here.
