We are a registered 501(c)(3) organization. Did you know<\/strong> Peninsula Singers began in 1988 as a chamber group called Peninsula Chamber Singers. Dennis Crabbe, Director of Music at Peninsula College, started the group and in 1990, Dewey Ehling took over as conductor and has directed for the past 17 years. In 2005, the name was changed to Peninsula Singers to reflect the larger and growing size of the chorale. Though the group started as a chamber group it has expanded its size in order to do large choral works with orchestra. It retains its chamber concept, however, and will occasionally feature a chamber group in concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The singers are made up of experienced singers from the North Olympic Peninsula. Many have had college experience, some professional. A few are music majors. The goal of all is to sing the best choral literature available. While we have mostly post-college singers, we do include a few younger inexperienced singers who have shown vocal promise and the desire to gain experience and familiarity with the repertoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the hundreds of works performed in the past years are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bach: Magnificat, St. Matthew Passion<\/em> We have done selections from major musical productions such as Steven Sondheim’s Into the Woods<\/em>, Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Cats<\/em>, and several full-length productions of Menotti’s Amal and the Night Visitors<\/em> in full costume and staging. In addition we have performed many art, folk and gospel works by various composers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are still growing! We will continue to perform the finest choral work by classic and contemporary composers of all persuasions for all audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mission Statement To provide quality musical performances for the benefit and enjoyment of the members of our local community and the community at large.
