The Freight Singers is a new community chorus based at the Freight and Salvage, founded by Zoe Ellis and Bryan Dyer and now led by Bryan Dyer. The chorus will introduce singers to music from a variety of cultures inside the U.S. and around the world with an emphasis on traditional/roots music. Participants will learn about the historical and cultural context of the music, as well as the style and technique, including basic body music techniques.

There are no auditions, but singers will be asked to participate in a brief assessment with chorus directors. Singers should be able to sing on pitch and hold a part. Ability to read music is not required. Singers should be at least 14 years old.

Freight Singers meet weekly IN PERSON on Mondays from 6:30 – 8:00 PM, January 27th thorugh May 5th. There is a final concert at Freight & Salvage on May 5th at 7:00 PM. Please note that Freight Singers rehearsals meet at East Bay School for Boys, NOT at the Freight & Salvage (registrants will receive the address via email).
