Join us for our 40th season of music that will feature 9 unforgettable concerts and several community outreach events across the Rogue Valley!

The Southern Oregon Repertory Singers, under the inspired direction of Dr. Paul French will feature timeless masterpieces, contemporary music and bold new works that will stir your heart and lift your soul – all in celebration of the beauty of the human voice. This year’s transformative journey features revered masterworks, rising young composers, and premieres of new works that will move, delight and surprise you.

Sat., May 9, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
Sun., May 10, 2026, 2:00 p.m.

As part of this year’s James M Collier New Works Festival, composers Peter Relph and Jodi French explore the idea of transformation from discord into harmony in two commissioned premieres. The text of Relph’s “To the End in Songs” moves from a state of searching restlessness towards a state of peace. Jodi French’s “The Stranger Among You” is an exploration of home and belonging.

French’s work is inspired by Oregon Poet Laureate Lawson Inada. Both works are set for choir and orchestra and will feature internationally-renowned baritone soloist Christopheren Nomura. Both composers will be available for a brief Q & A following the concert.

On Saturday, May 9th, and Sunday, May 10th, join the Humboldt Grange #501 for our Annual Mother's Day Weekend Plant Sale and Seed Exchange!
