Summer-Break

It’s summer, and we’re taking a break until fall. Our first rehearsal of the next season will be September 8th (2010).

Come sing with us in September!

If you have ever wanted to sing in a no-pressure and accepting environment, if you have ever wanted to just have fun with music, or if you have ever wanted to celebrate subjects like peace and joy without needing to believe a set of rules, then come join us.
We accept all voices.

We rehearse Wednesday evenings, 7-9, @ St. David of Wales Episcopal Church, 2800 SE Harrison

Why We Sing

Singing in a Peace Choir is about much more than making music. It’s a radical act of optimism- knowing that what we do makes a difference. It’s engaging in activism.  It builds community. We who sing in Portland Peace Choir believe in what we are singing. We see our music as a path to creating more peace  not only in our own lives, but  for our families, our neighbors, our nations and the world.

We sing to lessen our own isolation. We sing to feel connection, to belong and to feel joy. We sing to learn new languages, to honor sacred traditions, to heal our wounds. We sing because someone once told us that we couldn’t.

Be it, Live it, Sing it.

Who we are

The Portland Peace Choir strives to exemplify the principles of equality, justice, peace, unity and cooperation.  We sing music from diverse cultures and traditions to inspire peace in ourselves, our families, our communities, our nation and the world.  The Portland Peace Choir welcomes all voices.

All we need is YOU

What does it take to join? Your joy to rehearse every week. Your excitement to perform 3-4 times a year in churches, prisons, nursing homes, farmers markets. We’d like some of you to serve on one of our committees: music selection, performance, library, recruitment, social, or finance.  $20 per month or $150 for the entire year (nine months, Labor Day until Memorial Day, at least 30 rehearsals).  Scholarships available.

When and where?

Every Wednesday evening from 7-9 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm) at St. David of Wales Episcopal Church, 2800 SE Harrison starting September 9, 2010.  Come sing songs that lift your spirit and inspire peace in your heart and around the world.
