I never thought I would join another choir after college!

There I was with my mom, doing our weekly ritual of drinking in the hot tub; however, this time we started singing a bunch of Journey songs! I remember telling my mom that I missed singing with a choir in college. I told her that I was scared of auditioning.

The next day I woke up hung over. She had already signed me up for Main Line Singers. (NO AUDITIONS REQUIRED) She said if I didn’t go, she would cry, so of course I went.

When I joined, I was the only bass in the choir. We are now 10 strong. 💪

I was extremely nervous to sing in front of everyone; however, all the friendly faces and the kind energy in the room calmed me. Then Ted, our choir director, started singing along with me. This reinforced the idea that I was not alone. I would come to learn that everyone who occupied those other seats was amazing, interesting, would never judge, and also had some great stories to tell!

After 2 years of being in this choir, I met the love of my life. She is German, and we would have never met otherwise. Thank you, Susanne, for being our little matchmaker.

Even though I was forced to join, deciding to stay has been one of the greatest decisions of my life. The love to be found, the joy to be experienced, and the laughs to be shared are all great reasons why you too should JOIN Main Line Singers!

P.S. My mom, to this day, hasn’t shed a tear.

This support helps us continue doing what we love most: filling the Main Line with joyful singing, welcoming community members of all backgrounds into our chorus, and partnering with local nonprofits to spread a little harmony wherever we go.

“This grant means so much to us,” said Eileen Cassidy, Board President. “It helps keep our music accessible, our concerts meaningful, and our singers inspired.”

The funding will support music purchases, community performances, member learning opportunities, and other essentials that keep our 100-member chorus thriving.

We’re deeply grateful to both the PCA and the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance for investing in our mission—and to our singers, volunteers, and supporters who make Main Line Singers such a vibrant place to belong.

You can’t hold it in your hands, you can’t stop it and you don’t know what it will bring. But the mysteries of time can be captured in a song, and we’ll share many of these beautiful reflections at our semiannual concert.

Join Main Line Singers at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 7th for “It’s About Time! Songs for the Times of Your Life.”

Past, present and future will harmonize as we share selections including “Memory,” “Yesterday,” “As Time Goes By,” “Seasons of Love,” “Just In Time,” “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and “Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin’.”

Treasure this temporal tribute at Paoli Presbyterian Church, located at 225 S Valley Road in Paoli. Tickets, which include a post-concert reception with refreshments, are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. All payment methods are accepted. Children 12 and under will be admitted for free.

🎵 I see trees of green
Red roses too
And a chance to support
Main Line youth
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world 🎵

This winter, we are proud to partner with our friends at the Main Line Art Center, a destination for discovering, creating, experiencing, and sharing visual art, while providing opportunities for personal growth and joy. Their accessible art program for artists with disabilities has been a cornerstone of their programming for over fifty years. (You can find a list of their many community partners here.) And don’t let our song fool you – they have programs for adults, too!

At our concert we will be accepting donations of new craft supplies to support their programs. Please add a little color to our community by bringing one or many of these new items with you:

• Markers (very needed!)
• Colored pencils
• Pencils
• Craft paper
• Scissors
• Glue sticks
• Crayons
• Masking tape
• Paper plates 
• Bowls

Looking for other ways to help? Visit their website for more ideas on how you can support their efforts.

This event, to be held at the Creutzberg Center at 260 Gulph Creek Road in Radnor, will be a wonderful introduction to MLSN and its array of affordable, enriching educational experiences. It’s also the perfect way to get acquainted with Main Line Singers, a choir that has grown to include 75 members since it was founded in 2017 by Kim Carr, a staff member at MLSN.

If you enjoy singing and value community, join us at one of our weekly rehearsals — there’s no audition required!
