You were born to sing! The Olympia Peace Choir believes in quality through inclusion. We don’t hold auditions. If you have an open heart, an open mind, and the will to use your voice to express yourself, there’s a place for you here!
The Olympia Peace Choir
Joining the Choir
The Olympia Peace Choir begins each season in September on the first Monday after Labor Day. We meet on Monday evenings during the school year at Westminster Presbyterian Church on Boulevard Road in Olympia from 7:00-8:45 p.m.
Potential new members should attend our first two orientation rehearsals to see whether you would like to join.
If you wish to join, you must submit a membership application and, if accepted, pay choir dues. Dues cover the cost of your music folder and contribute to the cost of rehearsal space, performance spaces, director’s and accompanist’s stipends, and the many other expenses involved in maintaining a choral group.
$280 for full season (September-May)
Payment plans and scholarships are available.
Minimum payment plan downpayment: $80
Minimum scholarship payment: $80
We are committed to making the choir accessible to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. If these costs would create a financial hardship, please contact our treasurer at treasurer@theolympiapeacechoir.org.
When you complete your membership application, you will receive an email with information about our registration process. If we have space in the choir for you, we will send you a link to log into Chorus Connection, our choir management platform. There, you can pay in full, set up a payment plan, or apply for a scholarship.
Although we encourage using Chorus Connection’s payment portal, we will also send information about how to pay by check.
NOTE: This process is not automated! Please be patient as you await email instructions. If you have any questions, please reach out to membership@theolympiapeacechoir.org.
In order to keep our choir at a manageable size for both our director and local venues, The Olympia Peace Choir does have a membership cap. We regret that membership cannot be guaranteed. We encourage anyone who sings in the soprano, alto, or contralto range to consider becoming a member of our new treble choir, Treble Voices for Peace.
