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 voice-blending skills, and
– to create and maintain a free repository of 60 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 enjoy blending voices (or want to give it a try) come join us! Click above to find the time and location of our upcoming meeting and which songs to prepare. Beginners are welcome.
You don’t have to live in St. Louis to be in the St. Louis Peace Choir. Please help us create a repository of 60 egalitarian/peace songs by sending 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 a small, informal circle-choir. Since we don’t give concerts, we have time to enjoy blending voices, learning to harmonize, and exploring new peace songs. 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 simple choral songs that aspire to diversity, equity and inclusion. 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. Our songs are secular and non-political because 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. Sign-up by sending your name and email address to: sing@STLpeacechoir.org. You’ll receive a monthly email with links to the music a few days before each session, plus any important messages such as snow cancellations.
