Audition for Pacific Edge Voices! Aug 16 in Berkeley

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.
