Bach Mass in B minor

"I thought that the Southern Oregon Repertory Singers did a beautiful and  inspiring rendition of the Spring 2011 B minor Mass and it was an honor to perform with them!"

Julianne Baird, soprano

"Singing with the Southern Oregon Repertory Singers in the B minor mass was a wonderfully joyful experience. The chorus and orchestra are first rate, Paul French an inspiration, and the music making was sublime."

The Magic Continues

The Southern Oregon Repertory Singers welcome you to another glorious season of unique musical programming. Expect this wonderfully eclectic season to run the stylistic gamut – from Monteverdi to MacMillan - as we celebrate the wide range of the choral medium to inspire, entertain, thrill and move us.

As our subscribers and patrons have come to expect, this season’s concert performances offer something for everyone, but nothing you will hear anywhere else. Our Artistic Director, Dr. Paul French, has scheduled rarely-heard classics and undiscovered treasures that are sure to delight even the most seasoned listener.

The Southern Oregon Repertory Singers have built a reputation as one of the finest choral groups performing in the Northwest. Launching its second quarter-century, the SORS four-concert subscription series has established Rogue Valley musical traditions unique to the group: world premieres of pieces commissioned from internationally well-known choral composers, and the annual Mozart (& More) concerts. During its nine-year run, the Songs of Shakespeare concert series alone boasted a number (20) of new works especially commissioned by composers Martha Sullivan, Craig Kingsbury, Bryan Johansson, and Jodi French.

The ensemble frequently collaborates with other leading Rogue Valley arts organizations, and its high standard of artistry has been recognized with multiple invitations to perform at conferences for the American Choral Conductors Association and the American Guild of Organists. Commissioned works by SORS Composer-in-Residence Craig Kingsbury were broadcast live to an estimated one million households internationally and praised by West Coast Live host Sedge Thompson as "beautiful music, beautiful singing."

The Southern Oregon Repertory Singers have released two CDs: In Time of Softest Snow and On The Trail of Beauty.
