OUR ORCHESTRA IS RECRUITING!

We are looking for percussionists, double bassists, and oboists to join us this 2026-27 season.

Orchestra rehearsals are held at the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church, Mass Ave., Arlington, MA on Wednesday evenings, from 7:30 to 9:45 PM.

Founded in 1933, the Arlington Philharmonic Orchestra is a vibrant community orchestra bringing musicians of diverse levels and backgrounds together to perform a wide range of classical, contemporary, and newly composed music for audiences throughout Arlington and surrounding communities.

COME SING WITH THE ARLINGTON-BELMONT CHORALE!

Is joining a chorus on your "to-do" list? We are recruiting new singers for the Arlington- Belmont Chorale, a community chorus of approximately 65 members. Whether you sing soprano, alto, tenor, or bass, we welcome you to visit our rehearsals, sing with us and see if our group is a good fit. This season, we are particularly interested in recruiting basses.

Chorale rehearsals are held at the Park Avenue Congregational Church, 50 Paul Revere Road (corner of Park Avenue), Arlington, MA on Monday evenings, from 7:45-10:00 PM. Rehearsals for our 2026-27 season begin on Monday, September 14. We have a choral music library, and therefore music will be loaned to each performing singer. We also use online practice files highlighting each part which are very helpful in learning the notes.

Our Holiday Concert with the Arlington Philharmonic Orchestra will be held on Friday, Dec. 11, at 8 pm at the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church, Mass. Ave, Arlington. The Chorale will be performing with the orchestra Schubert's "Mass No. 2 in G Major". We will also perform "Dreamweaver" by Ola Gjeilo with small instrumental accompaniment.

Should you have any additional questions about joining the Chorale, please contact chorale@psarlington.org
