About the Walla Walla Choral Society
Since 1906 some form of the Walla Walla Choral Society has existed. The common thread over the years has been the desire to bring the beauty of song to the Walla Walla Valley.
The Walla Walla Choral Society is a non-profit volunteer organization that promotes and performs accessible quality choral music for the Walla Walla Valley. We collaborate with other artistic groups, enriching the community’s cultural life. We strive to offer innovative and creative choral productions that feature an expansive repertoire of works and styles. We are committed to performing at the highest level of excellence.
Our motto is “Making a Positive Sound in Our Community.” We celebrate our joy of singing and invite the community to share our passion.
