“Singing together makes me feel hopeful and like I’m a part of something bigger than myself. Best part of my week is rehearsal and singing with this great group of humans.”
– MICHAEL BLANDINO, ACADEMIC ADVISOR

Please note: for the first time ever, we will be having our final performance in a church. Usually when people hear “choir,” they assume church, and we correct them: “no we’re not affiliated with any religion or religious organization.” Well, that part hasn’t changed. This just happens to be a beautiful arts space with killer acoustics that are perfect for our pop, rock and indie vibes. (We’ll try and keep the cursing to a minimum, though.)
Price: $400 ($25 per rehearsal) + a 3% processing fee.
The cycle fee can be paid in up to 8 installments.
Financial aid is available; please contact us for more info
Ability Level: All - no audition needed. Our choir members range from professionals to beginners and everyone in between.
Teaching Method: Hybrid learning model - ‘Learn-by-ear’ and music notation. You do NOT need to be able to read sheet music to take part. Harmonies will be taught by ear but sheet music will be offered as a rehearsal tool for people that read notation. This is a little different to our typical approach to choir leading.

Participants: Maximum 55 people.
