Family Caroling with the Valley Voices
Join us (& bring your friends, family, & neighbors)!
This year, we're looking forward to a short, family-friendly Christmas caroling season between our concert seasons! We'll sing real 4-part harmony (or just stay on the melody that you know).
Rehearsals are on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30 at the Ellensburg Presbyterian Church - Nov 28, Dec 5, & Dec 12. Then, we'll break up into smaller groups to head out into our neighborhoods for a traditional caroling experience, times TBD.

Valley Voices Community Choir
SATB, non-auditioned performance ensemble
Founded by former director Lee Bates in 2012, this "do good" choir has raised thousands of dollars for the FISH food bank & other local nonprofits with performances around the valley in collaboration with guest artists of all kinds. You can expect between 20-45 active singers in the group at any given time.
Singer comments after our winter performance on Dec 2, 2022:
- "It was such a moving & beautiful experience all around."
- "Being a part of this group has been more than I ever expected it could be."
- "It was such a beautiful evening & joyous experience."
We return for Fall on Sept 12, 2023, & will meet Tuesdays, 6:30-8pm, at the Ellensburg Presbyterian Church. Optional social hour follows most rehearsals. Open to adults & older teens, $20 suggested monthly donation. You do not need to read music to be successful, but will use the skill if you have it. Practice recordings are often provided.
