The choral events calendar is a list of choral performances and other events of interest to choruses and choral singers in New England. Move around quicker by clicking on the date header to hide (or show) all events on that day, or use the shaded control box (described below) to abbreviate the listings.

The "Filter and Search" link lets you select events by dates (past and future), location, or words in the listing. If your device supports geolocation, you can also find events near your current location by clicking that link. Normally, the calendar is restricted to the current performance season (starting in the fall). Search or browse past seasons using the "Season" pulldown menu. The shaded box on the bottom has "live" filters that immediately affect the display. Type in "Filter by chorus name" to show only performers that start with those characters; or click the "List performers" button to get a listing of all performers, and click on a name to show all events by that performer. Check a state in "Filter by state" to show only events in that state. 

Click on the "Here" link to go immediately to a page listing events happening soon in your location (the link only works if your device supports geolocation). You can customize that list with this form (works even if you don't have geolocation).

For the event listings:

• Click on the calendar icon to the left of an entry to download the event to your calendar app.
• Share an event listing by copying the "share" link (🔗) at the end of the entry. Or generate a direct link to any event by double-clicking on the event time; the time becomes a link, which can be copied and pasted (that link shows the entire calendar but scrolled to the event).
• See the performer's Chorus Directory entry by clicking on the info symbol (ⓘ) at the end of the listing. There's a separate symbol for all performers with directory listings.

Convenient bookmarkable links for places or dates can be constructed; for example:

• Show only one state. Calendar/MA shows only events in Massachusetts, and Calendar/CTVTMA includes only Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. Use the state abbreviations (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT) in any order.
• Near a city or town. Calendar/state/city/distance shows events within a distance (in miles) from the named city; for example, Calendar/MA/Boston shows only events in Boston, and Calendar/MA/Boston/10 shows events within 10 miles of Boston. Use underscores for spaces (New Haven is written New_Haven).
• Near a Zip code. Calendar/02456/20 shows events within 20 miles of Zip code 02456.
• Within a date range. Calendar/start_date/end_date shows events between the given dates. Date format: 2017-01-31 is  Jan. 1, 2017.

Simplify the listing on desktop computers using the little shaded control box in the lower right corner of the computer screen (not on mobile devices), which has checkboxes to hide event descriptions (reveal them by double-clicking the event title); show only the first line of each event (click on an event & hold the mouse to reveal the rest); or collapse dates—hide all events (click on any date to show/hide events for that date). Click on "back to top" to scroll to the first listing.

On mobile devices, descriptions are always hidden; tap on the title to see them.

Highlight any repeated performances by hovering the cursor over the event time. Hold the highlighting by clicking; you can then scroll to find the repeat performances, which will also be highlighted.

When browsing, skip to the next day by double-clicking in the left margin (anywhere to the left of the date headers).

ALL ARE WELCOME TO SUBMIT appropriate events for inclusion by completing the submission form. Submissions are reviewed by a moderator shortly after receipt, and may be edited for brevity and format before being approved. A promotional flier may be uploaded with the event; all fliers are available for download at the event's listing. You must have permission to use any copyrighted material in fliers you upload.

Note: You can see a "live" chart of the number of calendar events per week by going to www.choralarts-newengland.org/analytics/Calendar. More options for statistics are documented elsewhere. Other interesting options: a list of performance venues and of performers for the current year.
