Pay as led and able.

The Pendle Hill Chorus remains committed to welcoming all interested singers, and nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. However, as we strive to invest in the sustainability of Pendle Hill and compensate the labor that goes into facilitating the chorus (including the direction and accompaniment), we invite singers to register and pay as they are led and able. In Jewish tradition, the number 18 represents life. We suggest the prices below in the spirit of investing in the life of our community, but we invite you to choose whatever fee is right for you.

O, Mystery! Music for the Soul

The Pendle Hill Chorus invites new members for an exciting Fall season!

Singing since 1993, we are a non-audition ensemble, welcoming all – from the beginner to the more experienced. The ability to read music, while helpful, is not required

Our repertoire of sacred and secular music from around the world is challenging yet accessible through practicing together and individual audio/visual learning material.

The only requirement is a commitment to learning the music and supporting each other through attendance at weekly rehearsals.

The theme of this Fall season draws its name from one of the offerings, “Mystery” from Missa Gaia: Earth Mass. Offerings will be varied and will include music by Rosephanye Powell, Herbert Howells, G.F Handel, Bobby McFerrin, and others.

There is great beauty and power in the sound of people singing together!

Please contact Jackie and Joan directly with any questions. We’d love to talk with you about the Chorus!
