The choral landscape in the Portland metro area is flourishing with the formation of new choirs, including A Notion, A Scream, which began with aspirations for 20-40 singers but quickly reached 65 participants by their first rehearsal. The choir's mission focuses on promoting living composers, showcasing their work during an inaugural concert. The artistic community is thriving, highlighting a rekindled interest in choral music and the collaborative spirit following the pandemic, as more individuals seek opportunities to engage in choral singing.
"We hoped that through word of mouth we might get 20-40 singers...at our first rehearsal in October, 45 people walked through the doors and now we are 65."
"The mission of A Notion, A Scream is, in large part, to sing and promote living composers."
"We do our part to contribute to the perpetuation and survival of the choral form."
"In our post-pandemic world, folks seem eager to gather and to engage in the universal need to sing."
