The Eugene
Peace Choir, based in Eugene, Oregon, is secular and ranges in age and
experience.
Evolving from
an intermediate base, the Choir equally values musicality, message, and
friendship.
By creating
and sharing songs, based on community singing and our values, we catalyze
change.
The Choir
encourages diverse, accessible music styles, at times humorous, serious,
healing or political.
