No auditions, no pressure, just joy!
If you feel inclined to make a donation, contributions will support the Arts Council of Princeton and the musicians leading the experience.
CAPE HARMONY 2015
Who this is for:
Kids and parents who want to sing side-by-side
Adults who “used to sing” and are ready to bring singing back into their life
First-time singers who want to experience the magic of choir
Experienced singers looking to sing in a choir with low-commitment
How it works:
You choose the part that feels best for your voice
(low, middle, or high).
Families sit together and work as a team — either choosing to all sing the same part or challenge each other to sing in harmony.
There will also be moments where singers can volunteer to sing a short line of the melody on their own. If you feel inspired, just raise your hand when prompted and you can try the melody while the choir supports you.
A screen-free singing experience
PopUp Choir Princeton is intentionally phone-free and screen-free.
Instead of staring at iPads or projectors, everyone receives a simple lyric sheet with optional sheet music to follow. This keeps the focus on listening, connection, and the shared energy of singing in the same room.
