Anyone with a desire to sing is welcome to join this non-audition community choir. Our repertoire includes songs from various cultural and spiritual traditions around the world, songs of justice and peace, songs of hope and longing, and songs that are simply fun and full of celebration. At the heart of what we are about is coming together to sing in harmony as a means of both personal, local and global transformation. Singing opens the heart and re-enchants the spirit. Harmony brings harmony!

Imagine a no-audition choir in your own community where all voices are welcome. One World Community Choir is for people who love to sing­ but have either been too shy or too busy to do it. In this low-pressure, high-pleasure choir, you’ll learn beautiful songs from all over the world, including hypnotic chants from the rainforests of central Africa, traditional ballads from Scotland, uplifting kirtans from India, and traditional folksongs from our own land. In addition to their rich harmonies, many of these songs have irresistible rhythms that will get your body moving, and inspiring lyrics that will brighten your spirits. Betsy and Al bring the same level of playfulness and imperfection to the choir as they do to their marriage.

Unlike choirs whose primary focus is on performance, our focus is on the experience of singing together for our own enjoyment. And don’t worry if you can’t read music. You’ll be learning most of the songs by ear, just as they’re learned in the cultures they come from, and Betsy posts all the parts to all the songs online, so you can practice anytime between sessions. On-going choir, but new members are welcome to join anytime. Monday nights, 7–8:30 PM, from April through November and are off December through March. Call Betsy for more information.
