Free Choir is a no-tryout, all-ages community choir based in Portland, OR, U.S.
The choir is a place to come together and sing without any pressure or fear around being "good at it". We rehearse, record and perform, and anyone of anyone can join us, regardless of their background with singing. Every voice is welcome in this group.
We sing mostly pop songs and have found treasure in the music of independent artists such as Coal Beautiere, Jonah Matranga, Brianna Lea Pruett and Jackpot. Occasionally, we do bust out a big hit or two. Just because John Fogerty is a genius.
The choir was born in 2007 out of the open curriculum of The Village Free School and this bunch of us love to sing together when we're not too busy sewing, skateboarding, dreaming, taking classes, drawing pictures of rain, or running the dang school!! The choir donates its proceeds from concerts and record sales to VFS, which is a 501(c)3 non-profit.
The Village Free School serves kids aged 5-18 and is one of a growing number of Free Schools in the world in which young people are free from an imposed, mandatory curriculum and are instead challenged organically to learn, live with others and come to know themselves. The central tenets of the school are trust, free choice, and a democratic process that gives everyone in the community a voice, whether they are 5 years old or 50.
Contact us for bookings, hellos or anything else at freechoir@gmail.com, or here at myspace.
Love,
Free Choir
