The cascade chorus in Eugene, o regon, was founded in 1946 to encourage the Barbershop style of four-part a cappella harmony. We are one of the oldest chapters in the Evergreen district of the Barbershop Harmony society and have earned our way to International contest ten times. We have appeared throughout the Pacific Northwest. We are actively supporting music education in Lane county through the cascade chorus Foundation which has contributed over $30,000 to school programs in the last five years.

Burgess, the Portland s ymphonic girlchoir’s Intermezzo choir has been delighting and inspiring audiences in the Northwest and touring the Nation with its authentic interpretation of P sg’s awardwinning eclectic, adventurous repertoire, including world premieres of new works commissioned by P sg. Nearly 100% of P sg singers also participate in their school choir, band, and/or orchestra, benefitting from their music teachers’ instruction and, in turn, sharing their girlchoir “song” at their schools.
