The Olympia Peace Choir is an inclusive, inter-generational community dedicated to using the power of song to create peace and promote social justice and environmental stewardship. We sing music from diverse cultures and traditions and are dedicated to practicing the principles of equality, peace, respect, and cooperation.

Our motto is “Quality Through Inclusion.” There are no auditions to become a member. We accept people from all backgrounds, and with all levels of musical ability. We believe that one of the keys to a great choir performance is the relationship we have with each other. Our rehearsals are a nice balance of fun and hard work. Each rehearsal and performance leaves us feeling energized, hopeful, and connected.

We look forward to seeing you at our performances and sharing our vision of community with you.

A Wonderful Choir! There is a peace attained listening to every voice come together in harmony.

Let your voice be heard,
Let your voice be heard,
Like the ones who came before you
Let your voice be heard.
