20th Anniversary Spring Concert
May 16, 2009
Join Us - No Auditions!
The chorus is open to all interested singers Tuesday,
September 9, and Tuesday, September 16. If
you attend both rehearsals in September--you're in, should
you decide that Soromundi is for you. There are no auditions
and no skill or experience requirements . . . just a desire
to sing!
Soromundi is open to any woman who
wants to sing with us, regardless of sexual orientation. Although
we ask for a $15-25 month dues contribution (September through
May), dues are on a sliding scale and no one is turned away for
lack of funds. To contact us about joining Soromundi, click

From the Eugene Weekly 05.15.08
 "Somehow, this has become the calendar of a thousand gay
events. And it's not even Pride Month! But the women of Soromundi:
Lesbian Chorus of Eugene will make you proud simply to be a human
being at How Can I Keep From Singing? If that's too Enya (or Jesus)
for you, no worries; it's but one of the many songs that the 70-voice
chorus plans to present at spring concert #19 (you know what that
means for next year, people). There's a Sephardic lullaby and a
Cajun farewell along with fave tunes of the regular Soromundi fans
who crowd the Saturday Market and everywhere else the group sings.
Why so many, and such avid, fans? The women of Soromundi vary in
age, race, sexual orientation, gender identity and class background — not
to mention singing ability — but they provide a united front
and the sweet, sweet sound borne of encouragement, practice and
community." (www.eugeneweekly.com)
