ISing Choir

ISing’s mission is to share innovative and exceptional choral music while supporting local nonprofit organizations.
Since our founding in 2005, ISing has worked to share high-quality music to make its community better. We believe that music can make the world a better place, and we put that into practice by raising money for nonprofit organizations in Beaverton, Washington County, and the greater Portland area. ISing… well, we sing. But we do much more than that. We learn about diverse music and we share that — for free — with our audience. We tour internationally to share our culture with others and to bring their culture back with us. And we raise money for local charities. Sing Music is powerful. It connects people in ways that words cannot. We sing for the joy of it, but we also sing for the challenge. Instead of finding music that’s well within our abilities, we often select pieces that push us to improve and grow as individual musicians and as a choir. Perform While it’s incredibly satisfying to sing with a group of talented, committed people, it’s just not the same without an audience. Getting to share our hard work and passion with our appreciative, generous audience makes all the hours of rehearsal worth it. Benefit But we don’t just do it for the love of the music. We also want to highlight and support nonprofit organizations that are making our community a better place. So each of our concerts is a benefit show with 100% (that’s all of it) of the money collected going to our named beneficiary. Since we started, ISing has raised $241,030 for nonprofit organizations in the area. Tour Every three years the choir goes on an international tour. Through touring we get to explore other cultures and musical traditions while sharing ours. But perhaps the most important thing that happens on tour is relationships that develop within the choir. We learn to not just sing with each other, but for each other.

Hillsboro Symphony Orchestra
Hillsboro Symphony Orchestra

Hillsboro Symphony Orchestra

Hillsboro Symphony Orchestra performed its debut concert November 16, 2001. Less than 30 musicians arrived for that September rehearsal not knowing who would be conducting or what music they would be playing in just two short months. What brought this amateur group together was a shared passion for playing music. HSO was formed to give amateur musicians from throughout Washington County a place to perform, and give the county a community orchestra to hear. The Orchestra, which is open to all interested musicians, includes players from high school age to retirement with diverse backgrounds including physicians, engineers, retirees, stay at home Moms all with one common thread: the passion for playing symphonic music.

The newly organized HSO performed publicly for free at Thomas Middle School under the direction of conductor Stefan Minde. Although the audience was small, it was the beginning of what is now an ever growing community orchestra 65 members strong. Since that initial concert, HSO has continued to perform a series of three concerts a year: a Fall, Winter, and Spring program offering local musicians and community members an affordable way to appreciate a variety of symphonic music and enhance the cultural experiences available in the Washington County area. All of the HSO musicians share a passion for playing and performing, however, most would not have the opportunity otherwise as players volunteer their time and talents; while needing to keep their daytime jobs.
Past Symphony Logos Through the years our logo has taken on different shapes. In the original design, the audience voted in the name Pizzicato Pete for the conductor’s name. In 2006 a design contest was established and the winning design, by Leisha Huskey, continues to be our current logo.
