Be Part of Renaissance City Choir’s 2022–23 Season!
We’re excited to announce the beginning of our 2022–23 concert season! Rehearsals will begin on Tuesday, August 23 at 6:45pm in the Social Hall at East Liberty Presbyterian Church for our annual holiday concert, scheduled to take place Saturday, December 3.
Whether you’ve been performing for years or you haven’t sung since high school choir, our “community that sings” is an opportunity to learn, grow, and challenge yourself while making beautiful music, lasting memories, and lifelong friends.

We invite anyone interested in singing with us to sign up for a brief voice placement. First—don’t feel intimidated! We welcome singers of all experience levels. During the placement, you will be asked to sing some short exercises to determine range and appropriate voice part. You will also be asked to sing a short song, or a short section of a song of your choosing. If you do not have a song in mind, you can sing something as simple as Happy Birthday. Finally, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the choir, rehearsals, and performances.
Placements will be held at East Liberty Presbyterian Church at 116 S. Highland Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 (map). Please enter through the main entrance on Highland Ave and someone will meet you to take you to the Social Hall. The elevator to the Social Hall is being replaced; please email the director if this poses a barrier and we will make arrangements to meet in a different space.
Sign up for a placement time slot on Tuesday, August 16, Saturday, August 20, or Sunday, August 21 (additional dates may be added as needed). Please include your name and voice part (if known). If you would like to receive an email reminder, please also add your email address. If you would prefer not to share any of these details on the Google sheet, please feel free to use initials only, or contact Artistic Director Kym Scott directly via email at director@rccpittsburgh.com.
If you are unable to attend on the above dates or time slots are full, please email the Artistic Director at director@rccpittsburgh.com to set up an alternative time, either in person or virtually.
Please note that at this time, all participants are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and face masks are required at rehearsals until further notice.
