intergenerational choir for women

Started in 2014, it seeks to be a safe, supportive environment for women to achieve a high level of choral singing. Women of Song is a place to get into or back into singing, learning high-quality repertoire and healthy vocal production. While it is a place to which choristers can return year after year, Women of Song is also a great place to (re)start your musical education. It is not just a community choir or a church choir, nor is it exclusively for people who are already skilled at choral singing. It offers learning opportunities for those who want to get into choral singing, and leadership opportunities to women with advanced skills.

fall 2025

Join us this fall semester! Women of Song meets Wednesdays from 7 – 9 pm at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church (5801 Hampton St.) in Highland Park. Audition dates for fall 2025 will be released in the early summer of 2025.

Scared of auditions? Don’t be! This is a time for the director to get to know your voice and where you might fit best in the ensemble. If you have worked on solo or choral repertoire before, please feel free to bring a small excerpt. Otherwise, this audition will include vocalization, sight-reading, pitch matching, and pitch memory. There is no expectation that you will be good at this!

important dates:

• Start date Wednesday, September 3rd, 7 pm
• Wednesdays 7 – 9 pm through early December
• Saturday, November 15th: afternoon run-out to local nursing home
• Saturday, November 22nd: 7 pm Fall concert

Tuition is per semester. The program is run by the Pittsburgh Girls Choir and the costs associated with the choir are directed towards space rental, director fee, purchasing and licensing of music, materials and instrumentalists. Please do not let cost hinder your participation; use your household income to find your tuition level on the sliding scale.
