青青合唱團  Ching Ching Chorus

歡迎愛音樂的朋友加入青青合唱團

這裡有一群活潑、愛樂的朋友，你也應當來看看．．．

＊青青是個什麼社團？

青青是一九八一年在史丹佛校區內，由當時在學學生和愛好歌唱社會人士所成立的華人混聲合唱團，今年已有四十年的歷史。最近十年來，合唱團每年登記團員人數約二百人；每次出席練唱人數約在一百人左右。

Ching Ching was formed with a group of Stanford students and people from the society who have passion in singing back in 1981. Up to current, we have approximately 200 members in the past decade. And we have around 100 members attend our weekly rehearsals 

＊青青團員的組成是什麼？

團員主要來自美國、台灣、中國大陸、港澳、東南亞等國，以及學習華語的西方人士。涵括大學生、從事各行各業的社會人士和退休人士。合唱團以國語為共同語言，但是能講各種方言。

Ching Ching members are mainly from US, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia, also Westerners who study Mandarin.  And these people are college students, people from the society, community and retirees.  

＊青青都唱些什麼歌？

青青的練唱曲目包括台灣和大陸民歌民謠、中國藝術歌曲、現代創作歌曲、西洋合唱經典、世界各國民歌、黑人靈歌、歌劇選曲、著名音樂劇、中西流行歌曲等等， 也演唱團員自己所編的歌曲。青青每年至少推出一場音樂會，有歌有舞， 又唱又跳又演，是灣區最為精彩生動的合唱音樂會。

Songs that we practice are Taiwanese and Chinese ballads, folk songs, morden songs, classics, songs in foreign languages, Black soul songs, opera, classic musical and Asian pop songs. We hold an public concert yearly.   

＊需要具備一定資格，或是通過試唱，才能成為青青團員嗎？

青青是個愛樂社團，更是個歌唱的大家庭。每一位喜歡唱歌的人，不論音樂素養高低， 都可以自由加入青青，和大伙兒一起歡唱。青青沒有設定任何試音門檻，只要繳交團費（每年五十元美金）和參加練唱， 便可以成為正式團員，並領到一本當年的精緻歌曲選集。

Ching Ching is a big family and welcomes everyone who loves singing no matter how much you know about music, Therefore, we don't have an audition. As long as you pay the membership fee ($50 per year) and attend the weekly rehearsals, then you become a Ching Ching member for the year. In addition, you will receive a songbook for the year you attend.    

＊青青到底辦些什麼活動呢？

青青每週六下午例行練唱（每年有幾個國定假日長週末停練一次），目標是為了每年年底舉行一次對外公演。 其他音樂活動包括與別的社團聯合演出、舉辦音樂營或音樂欣賞、基本樂理、聲樂技巧講座等等。 聯誼活動則有排舞、郊遊、登山、聚餐、卡拉OK等。 近年來青青每年也舉辦郵輪或巴士旅遊，反應熱烈，活動成功，吸引了許多團內團外的朋友參加。 

Besides weekly rehearsal and annual performance, we also have performances with other choirs, music camp, music theory seminar, vocal seminar. For social activities, we have line dancing, hiking, bus tours, cruise traveling and so on. 

＊成為青青團員，有什麼義務和權利？

做為青青團員幾乎不受什麼強制性的義務約束，但是希望你能準時出席練唱，踴躍參加演出， 熱心擔任團內各項職務以及參與各項活動。這些期望其實更像是團員的權利，而非義務。 你在團務範圍內享有選舉權和被選舉權，參加各項活動也比非團員享受更多優待。

We encourage Ching Ching members to attend weekly rehearsal, the annual performance and also willing to serve the choir by taking job positions in the chorus.       

＊青青如何運作？

青青每年以團員選舉方式產生團長及財務委員，並由團長遴選各行政幹部推動團務。 音樂訓練也是由團員中音樂素養深厚者擔任指揮、伴奏及各聲部領導。這是一個完全自治而融洽的音樂社團。

The Ching Ching president and treasurer get elected by the members every year. And then the president will create a team to serve the choir for the following year. Musical training team includes conductors, accompanist and section leaders.
