Come to one or all!
This a great time to check out Living Room Choir with no commitment: bring a curious friend and try it out, before our Spring Session begins the first weekend of February.

No reservations necessary; just come. We look forward to singing with you!

Drop Ins all January

January 3 – Round Robin
January 10 – Sara Stutz Song Circle Canceled; Tova and Eileen will be hosting an outdoor “Front Porch Choir” for anyone who still wants to gather that day. This is not a typical LRC offering but a lovely way to bridge the gaps when we take a week off. Bring a chair, water, and warm clothes – none of the usual amenities will be provided.
January 17 – Vocal Playground with Kid Beyond! (Special Guest!)
January 24 – Deborah Leeds Song Circle
January 31 – Kaitie Ty Warren Song Circle

    About Living Room Choir:
    Living Room Choir was founded in 2015 and is part of the international Ubuntu Choirs Network. Founded by Kaitie Ty Warren and now co-led by Kaitie Ty Warren and Sara Stutz, LRC meets weekly in El Cerrito and also mixes and mingles with the global singing community. Over the last decade LRC has hosted many wonderful songleaders (see our guest leader archive here). We have choir events year round and always encourage newcomers to join us – no musical experience necessary! Follow us on Instagram.
