Since 1992, Aurora Chorus has honored the strength and beauty of women's lives through the fine art of choral singing. Aurora ... was founded on the belief that music can be a powerful instrument of peace, locally, globally, and in the hearts of all who listen and all who sing. In an atmosphere of personal growth and cooperation, Aurora is proud to provide both novice and experienced singers with an unparalleled opportunity to expand and transform a love of singing into an understanding and appreciation of healthy vocal production, choral technique, musical expression and literacy. Led by director Joan Szymko, Aurora Chorus consists of over 100 singers from the Portland/Vancouver metro area, presents two full length concerts each season, and performs at community outreach events throughout the year. Aurora has produced two full length CD recordings: "Full Circle" and "Solstice." read more
