Sing with Rittenhouse Sound
We invite anyone to join Rittenhouse Sound as a guest at our Tuesday rehearsals at 7:15 pm at the Philadelphia Ethical Society, located at 1906 Rittenhouse Square, in the upstairs ballroom. Our doors are always open!
Do you have a passion for music?
Can't read sheet music? That’s okay! We provide our singers with audio-based learning recordings to aid them in learning their individual parts by ear. Bring your voice and an open mind!
As a competitive a cappella chorus awarded 2023 Central Division Chorus Champions, now is the best time to join and be a fundamental part of the continually-evolving Rittenhouse Sound chorus.
We hope to see you at a rehearsal soon! For any questions, contact us or email us.
Let us know ahead of time that you’re visiting by registering HERE or scanning/tapping on the QR code on your smartphone.

Should you want to become a member after visiting, you will be offered an opportunity to audition after your third consecutive rehearsal. While auditioning may sound intimidating, keep in mind that all members were in those shoes at one point. Rittenhouse Sound is, above all, a supportive environment for making music and enjoying each other's company, and we want nothing more than to encourage singers to sing. Details about the audition will be provided in advance.
