Sacred and Profane is an advanced adult volunteer choir committed to the accomplished presentation of the rich and varied art of a cappella choral music. Our repertoire encompasses a diverse blend of styles and periods, including medieval through contemporary, sacred and secular, traditional, ethnic, and folk styles. We present concerts in Berkeley and the East Bay, San Francisco, and other Bay Area communities, and rehearse in Oakland.
