With a bit of coordination and commitment, something both memorable and magical can happen! [Read more…] about Pendle Hill Chorus – Many Voices with One Song

Quaker Spotlight: A Woman of Note

Written on:

As we began our interview with Demie Kurz, a long-time member of the Religious Society of Friends and retired professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, who also co-directed the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies program, we were immediately impressed with her flow of conversation and emphasis on the history of Quaker women.

Pendle Hill Chorus

Written on:

The Pendle Hill Chorus is a non-audition community chorus that draws singers from across the tri-state area. Singing since 1993, our repertoire of sacred and secular music from around the world is challenging yet accessible.

All are welcome regardless of musical or choral experience. While the ability to read music is useful, it is not a requirement. Individual audio/visual study files and periodic vocal section sessions are provided. The only requirement is a commitment to learning the music and supporting each other through attendance at weekly rehearsals.

Repertoire: Music for the Winter Season
Featuring selections from “Ballad of the Brown King.”
Music: Margaret Bonds; Text: Langston Hughes

Please contact Jackie and Joan directly with any questions. We’d love to talk with you about the Chorus!

The Pendle Hill Chorus remains committed to welcoming all interested singers, and nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.

In Jewish tradition, the number 18 represents life. We suggest the prices below in the spirit of investing in the life of our community, but we invite you to choose whatever fee is right for you.
