Brush High School Choir Alum

Original Release: 7/1/2024

Do you miss singing in a choir? Encore Creativity for Older Adults is the nation's largest choral arts organization for adults 55+. Their mission is to create meaningful arts experiences supporting life-long learning, wellness, and fun for all older adults. Encore Chorale of Northeast Ohio is a non-auditioned choral group that meets in Chagrin Falls on Wednesdays, from 10:30 AM-12 PM. Their repertoire may include selections from the American Songbook, Broadway show music, classical, opera, and secular or religious holiday music. If you cannot attend all rehearsals, you are welcome to participate in virtual, online rehearsals. The choir currently consists of approximately 45 singers, and they typically perform two to four times per year. A creativity and aging study funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Institutes for Health found that adults receive tremendous physical, mental, and emotional benefits by participating in a professionally-led choral arts program. Encore is fun! Encore singers love the music, love to sing, and thrive on the camaraderie that comes with the Encore experience.
