Welcome to The Marin Men's Chorus
The Marin Men's Chorus is a group of men whose common denominator is the joy of singing. Since our founding in 1981, we have performed at various venues including retirement homes, civic functions, and formal concerts. Chorus programs have included a variety of vocal music. Learn more on our History page.
Our director is Denise Wharmby and our accompanist is Heather Creighton. We currently have about 30 active members but seek to increase our membership. We invite interested men to join us at one of our rehearsals at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Belvedere, CA. We rehearse every Tuesday from 7-9 pm.

Our 42nd Holiday Concert is on Sunday, December 17th at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Belvedere, California.
About our Chorus Director Denise Wharmby
Our director Denise Wharmby was called in to lead the Marin Men's Chorus last spring. She led the chorus in some rousing, rollicking, rough and ready repertoire of the somewhat rarified genre, the Sea Shanty/Songs of the Sea. The men, and audience at the Spring concert, loved her energy and enthusiasm so much, they invited her to return and all look forward to great success in the coming season.
Denise brings years of theatrical experience, sense of humor, vocal expertise and remnants of an Australian accent to the Marin Men’s Chorus rehearsal room and concert platform. She has worked as a professional pianist, singer, music director, voice teacher and chorus director, here in Marin and around the globe.

A Statement from General Manager Thomas Cromwell:
After over two years we have resurrected the Marin Men's Chorus. Several chorus’ have been successfully back in operation for a few months now. Covid (Omicron) is not over but numbers here in Marin and throughout the country are dropping substantially. So it appears we have gone from a pandemic virus to an endemic virus, i.e. it isn’t going away entirely but hopefully we can live with it….like influenza. We want everyone to be fully vaccinated and boosted although it will be on the honor system. At this time we won’t require masks but bring one along just in case. If you want to try a singer's mask several varieties are available on Amazon.
