Joining the Choir

Registration for the 2025 Fall/Winter term
is now open!

 


Come and sing with us! No auditions are required. We welcome all ages and experience levels. Be a part of a community of women who love to sing! 
  • Rehearsals are held weekly on Monday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 pm
  • Optional additional sectional practices are offered
  • Recordings are provided to support practice on your own.
Rehearsals for the Fall/Winter Term will begin on September 8, 2025, at the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance, room 163, 961 E 18th Ave.  Doors open at 6:30 pm for check-in and music pick-up and our first rehearsal will start promptly at 7:00 pm. If you want to try us out, please come to one or both of our first two rehearsals (September 8th and/or 15th) and see what fun it is to sing with us. You have nothing to lose, and you might just find a new community of amazing women.

All visitors and prospective members are asked to register in advance so that we will know you are coming! Please click on the “Register Now” button at the top of the page to register in advance. Be aware that registering will generate an invoice, but payment is not expected until after you have had a chance to attend a rehearsal, experience the fun, and have made the decision to join the choir.  Dues for the term are $105, which is just a little over $6 per rehearsal. Our actual cost to maintain the choir is $200 per member each term, but we want to make participation as affordable as possible.  Payments for the Fall/Winter term will be accepted until Wednesday, September 17th..   All unpaid invoices will be voided and registration will be closed as of September 18th.

If you have questions about visiting the rehearsal or about the registration process, please feel free to email your questions to Registration@womenschoralsociety.org 
 

 
The concert for the Fall/Winter Term will be held on Sunday afternoon, January 25, 2026.  Please click on the Fall Calendar button to learn more about our rehearsal schedule for the term. 

For the Fall/Winter term, we will feature a major work, Vivaldi's Gloria. We will sing a version that is scored for treble voices, which will simulate choral conditions at the time of its creation at the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, a renowned orphanage and music school, which was famous for its all-female choir and instrumental ensembles. 

Additional selections for our Fall/Winter repertoire:
  • Hashivenu - an Israeli folk song with an ethereal coda
  • Flight – an arrangement that speaks to soaring, ungrounded freedom
  • Adiemus and Vichten - two flirtations with non-English lyrics
  • Storm Comin'– as performed by the Wailin’ Jennys

See you soon!!
