New Music

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.

The Queer Chorus of SF is looking for passionate singers of all levels who share our enthusiasm for being part of a vibrant, inclusive community. We welcome individuals of all gender identities and sexual orientations. Our chorus is a safe and supportive space for everyone. We perform the best mixed-voice music, from classical to pop during our concert season of 2 main concerts and two cabarets. Our chorus is a place where you will grow and shine, singing the voice part that best suits you.

San Francisco-based Resound Ensemble is holding auditions for all voice parts, especially basses, on Wednesday, August 17th, 7:00-9:00. We present a wide range of styles of music each season, from 15th century pieces to new works, based around a unifying theme. We place a big value on community, and enjoy musical & non-musical activities together throughout each season.  Rehearsals are on Wednesday nights, from 7:00-9:30, in Noe Valley, easily accessible by BART, MUNI trains & buses.

Consider joining a happy, innovative, 20-voice chamber choir that excels in eclectic programming and exciting and refined performances of (mostly) a cappella repertoire.  Under the direction of Magen Solomon, San Francisco Choral Artists (SFCA) are a Bay Area chamber choir with a mission to foster new American choral music and to present eclectic, imaginative programs consisting of both new works and repertoire spanning 600 years in performances of uncompromisingly high quality.

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!
