Welcome to the St. Louis Peace Choir, a small, independent choral group of socially-conscious singers. In a sense we have 2 different choirs – a “real” one and a “virtual” one – because we have 2 different missions:
– to help each other develop choral-singing skills, and
– to create and maintain a free repository of egalitarian/peace songs for choral groups everywhere.
This is the choir that actually gets together every month to share ideas and to practice harmonizing. We’re a small “circle choir” that never gives concerts (perfect for introverts). If you too want to develop choral skills, come join us! Click above to find the time and location of our upcoming meeting and which songs to prepare for. Beginners are welcome.
You don’t have to live in St. Louis to be in the St. Louis Peace Choir. You can send us an audio recording of a vocal part. Click above to find the current song that the “Virtual Choir” is working on and follow the recording instructions.
About the St. Louis Peace Choir
- Our “Real Choir” is an informal circle-choir that is more focused on developing choral skills than in performing. Some of us have never before had a chance to sing in a choir. And so we work to richly blend our voices – something that only comes with experience. Any adult is welcome to participate without audition. There are no attendance obligations. Singers LEARN THEIR PARTS ONLINE at home during the previous weeks so that our short time together is productive. There are some things in life that just can’t be learned well from books. Choral singing is one of them. So come learn with us. Beginners are welcome.
- Our “Virtual Choir” allows anybody from anyplace in the world to be part of the St. Louis Peace Choir by recording a vocal part and sending it to us. It’s easy. Be a part of the peace movement. Be a part of the resistance to the coarsening of public life. Help us create a free REPOSITORY of short, secular, egalitarian choral songs. Help us create a brighter future.
- The St. Louis Peace Choir is organized as a diverse, member-led democracy. Responsibilities such as directing and music selection are shared. We follow the precept that singers should never be expected to sing words that they wouldn’t want to speak.
So join us. Be the harmony. Membership is free but registration is required. Send request with name and email address to: sing@STLpeacechoir.org. (You’ll receive a monthly reminder with links to the music a few days before each session, plus any important messages such as snow cancellations.)
