Ashland’s Rogue Valley Peace Choir, under the direction of Dave Marston, has more than 100 members. The choir’s vision to inspire the community to show respect and compassion for others regardless of race, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disabilities, or political persuasion is reflected through the music selected, which is designed to open hearts and minds in the celebration of life.

In its fourth year, the Rogue Valley Peace Choir has performed at various functions and venues throughout the Rogue Valley, including Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations, Ashland’s Rotary holiday dinner for shut-ins, Ashland’s Festival of Lights holiday celebration, the Lithia Park band shell on July 4, at the Youth Correctional Facility in Grants Pass and at Earth Day in North Mountain Park.

Seraphim

Seraphim plays gentle, contemplative music which they hope is healing, to accompany the transformative and sacred in people's lives. They tailor the music to your situation and your request so that a wide variety of music may be drawn from New-Age-style improvisation, to Celtic, popular, or the rich Jewish and Christian traditions. Seraphim has been playing events in the Rogue Valley for the past year.

Their CD "Seraphim Album One" has been used for healing, easing pain, meditation, yoga, and just creating a serene relaxing mood. Seraphim is: Irene Bernstein – flute; Esther Halvorson-Hill – flute; Kathleen Page – harp. Conact them at phone: 541-482-0156 e-mail: seraphim@halvorsonhill.net

Women With Wings Choir (http://www.womenwithwings.org)

We are a group of women in Southern Oregon, who come together to share the joy of singing and encourage other women to sing. We hold no auditions; all women are welcome. We aim to create an atmosphere of respect and caring in our relationships with one another and to make many of our decisions by consensus so that we keep the spirit of joy alive.

We meet from September to April and perform as a chorus each spring and at other community events throughout the year. We are open to new members annually in the fall.
