The Pendle Hill Chorus: O, Mystery! Music for the Soul

“There is great beauty in the sound of people singing together!”

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!
