Interested in joining Lift the Spirit Cville? You are welcome!
We do NOT require auditions, previous experience, or the ability to read music. We do require:
You miss no more than three rehearsals in a season (see below).
You pay dues as you are able to support the work of our facilitators, our rehearsal space, and the songwriters and publishers of our repertoire (see below).
You stay home if you are sick.
We support one another's intentions for the season, intentions like: "community," "love," "joy," "creativity," and "connection!"
Our Fall Season: September 1- November 14, 2026
Rehearals are every Tuesday from 7:00 - 8:30 pm at Park Street Christian Church (1200 Park Street, Charlottesville) with occasional 8:30-9:00 workshop time for vocal technique or small group practice. Doors open at 6:45 pm for socializing. We start on time.
Song Share (Community Performance): Saturday, November 14, at 3:00pm. Park Street Church.
FAQ:
What if I need to miss a rehearsal?
Let us know. If you know you need to miss more than three rehearsals, please consider waiting until another season when you're able to more consistently hold the space with your singing partners. But come to our Open Sing first rehearsal anyway!
How much are dues for the season?
Sliding Scale: $110 - $200
What if dues aren't "do-able" for me?
No one is turned away. Your voice and presence are much more valuable than funds. Time exchange would be appreciated, and need-based scholarships always available. Please email liftthespiritcville@gmail.com.
