Jazz

Come sing with Pacific Edge Voices (PEV)!

You like to sing Bach and Handel and live for a big group melisma. But you also love to float in the lush harmonic pool that is Lauridsen or Whitacre. Oh, but minor seconds are fun, too, like smooth Gene Puerling arrangements or beat-boxing Pentatonix tunes. But really, at the end of the day, what you are belting in your car is Lizzo and Hamilton. For you, music is music is music is music — especially when done well with a great community of committed amateur singers.

***THIS EVENT IS A ONE-DAY, PAID TRIAL, TO TRY THE CLASS BEFORE COMMITTING TO FULL ENROLLMENT. TRIAL IS ON AUGUST 27th. Times are listed next to each class below**

New instrumental groups are devoted to the performance of instrumental music. There will be public concerts each semester as well as opportunities for other gigs in local community events.

Now is your chance to be part of the Bay Area’s uncommon chorus, the Grammy-nominated Pacific Edge Voices. If you are an experienced singer, strong sight-reader, and interested in exploring a range of musical genres, then PEV is for you!
