Central Oregon Mastersingers

A little slice of history!

Last week, we had the incredible honor of having our founding director, Clyde Thompson, back on the podium.

For some of us, it was a reunion with the man who started it all in 2005. For many of our newer members, it was a first-time opportunity to learn from his vision and passion.

You can witness this full-circle moment for yourself! Clyde will be returning to conduct some special selections at our 20th Anniversary Finale Concert: "We Are the Music Makers."

📅 When: Saturday, April 25th at 7:00 PM
📍 Where: Tower Theatre
🎟️ Tickets: Available now at the Tower Theatre Box Office

🎶 THANK YOU for an unforgettable summer of song! 🎶

A couple of weeks ago, over 70 community members performed at Trinity Episcopal Church for our first-ever Summer Choir Performance — and YOU showed up and filled the house to capacity! 🙌💙

We launched this open, all-voices-welcome choir on a whim… and it became something truly special. Your energy, your voices, and your support made it magical.

From The Beatles to Cyndi Lauper, from Coldplay to Over the Rainbow, it was a wonderful afternoon formed from a summer of connection, joy, and shared music — and we’re still humming. 🎤🎵

To everyone who sang with us, and everyone who cheered us on: thank you.

Stay tuned… this might just become a new summer tradition. 😉

🎉 THANK YOU! 🎶
A huge shoutout to everyone who came out to our Bingo Fundraiser at the end of July — thanks to your amazing support, we raised over $4,700 for the Central Oregon Mastersingers! 💙

Your generosity and enthusiasm help keep the music alive in our community. Whether you played, donated, or cheered us on, you made a difference — and we couldn’t have done it without you. 🙌

Stay tuned for more events, and thank you again for being part of something so meaningful. 🎵✨

This summer, we tried something new — and it took off! By popular request, we launched a summer choir program open to any and all community members. Over 100 singers joined us, rehearsing together since June, and now we’re ready to share the music with you!

🎶 Several songs will be audience sing-alongs, so bring your voice and join the fun!
