All are invited to our weekly after-rehearsal dinners.
Founded around 2012 by Ellensburg's own Lee Bates, this "do-good" choir has raised thousands of dollars for local non-profits & performed with dozens of special guest artists.
We are a non-auditioned, mixed-voice (SATB) choir, open to older teens & up under the direction of Jan Jaffe. (Jan is owner, founder, & director of Make Music Ellensburg.)
We are also welcoming & supportive of one another's musical & personal growth, & all are invited to our weekly post-rehearsal social hour.
We have several seasons each year with a wide variety of repertoire. Our approximate schedule:
Register here & then show up!
(Or vice-versa!)
We start Aug 6, 2024, for "fair season," & Sept 3 for winter.
We meet Tuesdays, 6-8pm, at the Ellensburg Presbyterian Church located at 1307 E 3rd St., Ellensburg.
(We are on break in July & over the winter holidays. Watch our Facebook page for unusual schedule changes.)
Each Zip has Alto, Tenor, & Bass parts. Once you think you know it, try practicing your part while listening to a different part. (That's when it really gets fun!)
Hope, a poem by Emily Dickinson, is set to music by Dr. John Pickett, 2021, for the Kittitas County Virtual Choir on the anniversary of the Covid-19 pandemic in Washington State.
To our neighbors, friends, & family, as well those across the globe - we wish you peace inside & out.
Produced with the generous support of the Ellensburg Arts Commission.
To our singers - we are so proud of your hard work & kind hearts.
