The City and Port of Oakland Chorus, also called the Oakland Municipal Civil Service Chorus and the Oakland Municipal Employees Chorus, was founded by city employee Elsie Giani in 1940 and presented its first program in 1941. The first chorus director was John M. Falls, followed by Eugene Fillmore Jones and Julian Levant. The chorus presents holiday programs every December and occasionally performs at other functions. The collection contains programs, newspaper articles and other ephemera relating to chorus activities and members.
