Vashon Community Choir begins Fall Season

At NW Folk Life Festival 2015

If you love this music as much as we do, you really should come sing with us this Fall Season, starting Monday, Sept. 21st, 2015. Vashon’s Free Range Folk Choir will be singing in a new location, the Vashon High School band room (see map) for Fall Season rehearsals on Monday nights from 7-8:30 pm. (Registration begins at 6:45 pm on Sept. 21st.)

Under the direction of Shane Jewell, the choir celebrates the ways that music from around the world can lift the spirit and cultivate community. Feel free to come join us! Invite your friends and neighbors.

No auditions necessary to join; everyone is welcome.  

Fall season meets for nine weekly sessions from September until mid November. Please visit our schedule page for more details on the rehearsal schedule and upcoming concerts.

Vashon Community Choir invites you to 2 Upcoming Concerts

Free Range Folk Choir is excited to announce TWO upcoming concerts:

1. The FRFC will sing at the NW Folklife Festival on Sunday, May 24th at the Cornish Courtyard Stage from 1:30 to 2:20pm.  Come enjoy an uplifting set of a cappella folk music from South Africa, Croatia, Macedonia, and the USA. (This performance may start as early as 1:20pm, so plan to arrive early!)

The Cornish Courtyard stage (map) is located outside the Cornish Playhouse (201 Mercer Street, Seattle, WA) on the north side of the Seattle Center grounds. You're encouraged to carpool, bicycle or take the bus to Folklife. (See Metro Trip Planner for details: the C line is a great direct connection between Vashon/Fauntleroy ferry and the Key Arena/Folklife Festival.)

2. Celebrate the start of summer at the FRFC Summer Concert, Sunday, June 7th, 7:00pm at the Burton Community Church.  Profound music from the civil rights movement with a full band and jazz piano, as well as soul stirring songs from South Africa, Macedonia, Israel, and more, in one of the very best acoustic spaces on Vashon.  This is a night you won't want to miss.

Admission for both concerts is free; your donations in support of these events are gratefully accepted. We hope to see you there!
