The Valley Voices invite you to the 3rd Annual "Classics+Rock" concert. This year, the concept of "Home" is explored in all of its reflective complexity. Here's our Facebook event page. Sat, June 21, 2025 - 6:30pm at the Ellensburg United Methodist Church. $10/general - $5 student admission. Tickets are on sale now!

You don't want to miss this unique performance featuring choral & solo voices accompanied by piano & a full rock band as well as special guest performances from Central Washington University, the MME Kids Pop Choir, local authors & composers, & more.

Come early to bid on some treasures at our silent auction, including a chance to dedicate a song to a loved one during the performance. Doors open at 6pm.

*The Youth Pop Choir will be accepting enthusiastic singers (under 18) who can learn a tune & choreography at home + a few rehearsals in May & June. Contact Make Music Ellensburg for more information.
*June 21st is international Make Music Day. Join us to celebrate!

Our History

Our History

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. As far as we know, we have been the only not-church-based community choir around for many years.
