Visit a rehearsal

Pride of Portland Chorus rehearses every Wednesday evening, beginning at 6:30 pm, at Tigard Community Friends Church, 15800 SW Hall Blvd in Tigard (not at a karaoke bar like you see in the photo; that was just for fun!). Guests are always welcome and we'd love for you to visit us! We suggest you first email us to make sure we are rehearsing in person, as sometimes we need to hold Zoom-only rehearsals; we can fill you in and make sure you have all the necessary information! Just click here to contact us and let us know you'd like to attend a rehearsals. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have, too.

We look forward to meeting you.

DIVERSITY STATEMENT: Our Management Team, Music Team, and Diversity & Inclusion Team have all engaged in extensive discussions about these issues facing us today, our stance, and how best to present our position. In response, the teams have developed a "unity logo," shown here, as a visual representation of our thoughts. We're proud to be a part of a chorus with such open minds and loving hearts.
