The Riesland Memorial Scholarship is available again this year! This is for high school students starting their senior year in the school year 2026/27.

This is a yearly scholarship for a qualifying high school senior. It provides $1000 towards private vocal instruction with the student's teacher of choice. Its purpose is to assist the student in obtaining private voice lessons, thus increasing the student's eligibility for college scholarships.

The Riesland Memorial Scholarship was established in 2007 in memory of William "Bill" Riesland, who was a vital member of the Salem Community Chorus for many years. He loved music and loved being part of the chorus. Each week, Bill came early to rehearsals to set up the chairs. He also transported the risers to and from concert venues. This was always done willingly and with a smile.

In addition to chorus activities, Bill delivered for Meals on Wheels. Professionally, he was a landscape architect and a tax preparer. Always generous, he frequently donated his expertise to those who needed help with their taxes.

Male Ensemble Northwest returns to Salem!

Announcement from Male Ensemble Northwest:

Join us on Saturday, April 18 at 7:00 p.m. at Saint Mark Lutheran Church for A Concert for Our Community, featuring 18 outstanding musicians from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. These professional choir directors, educators, and composers will present a vibrant program that includes spirituals, international selections, traditional low-voice choral works, and contemporary pieces. This is a free, general-seating event.
We are honored to welcome guest conductor Dr. Paul Klemme, former member of Male Ensemble and the current Artistic Director of the Willamette Master Chorus and Director of Choirs at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Salem.

This concert’s goodwill offering will support two of the Willamette Master Chorus’s impactful outreach initiatives:
• The John Lorenz Veterans Concert Fund, making it possible for Veterans to attend the annual WMC Veterans Day Concert at no cost.
• The Keeping Choral Music Alive Program, which provides free voice lessons to youth in local schools—helping young singers grow their skills and explore future paths in vocal performance and education.

These programs have impacted hundreds of Veterans and students throughout the region. We invite you to come, be inspired, and join in community as we celebrate music, honor local heroes, and encourage the next generation of musicians. It promises to be a joyful, uplifting evening for all.

Help us reach our goal of 300 people in the seats! If we do, an anonymous donor has committed to a $1000 donation to the WMC programs!
