Berkeley Broadway Singers (BBS) is a 75-member community chorus, founded in 1998, under the music direction of Ellen Hoffman. We sing songs from Broadway shows and movie musicals, with a strong dash of standards from the Great American Songbook, nostalgic tunes from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, as well as jazz, Latin, doo-wop, blues, and other popular music. Many of our songs are arranged by Ellen for BBS.

Our repertoire includes many tunes from Broadway shows such as Kismet and South Pacific, blues like New York State of Mind and classics such as I've Got You Under My Skin. We cover many terrific 20th century popular songs, not only those written by Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim and the Gershwins, but also artists like Smokey Robinson, Luis Bonfa, Stevie Wonder, and John Lennon and Paul McCartney. There's something for everyone! (Check out our repertoire!)

Our goal is to provide a joyful and creative music experience for both our members and our audiences. Our concerts are free. We love to sing! And, we strive to reach a large community that is diverse in age, race and ethnicity.
