Our goal is to never forget those who have gone before us. Their contributions & legacy live on in our music, our hearts, and our mission.

The Celebration Project is a living memorial to remember the lives, spirit, and contributions of all our members who have passed away.

Conceived in the kitchen of Ron Hale by several choristers on January 28, 1996.

Designed by member Brother Adrian Cook, O.S.B. as processional banners. It has a lead banner of the Portland sign, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, wrapped in roses. The 8 additional panels create a musical staff with members embroidered names on fallen rose petals. Each panel is 7′ tall & 3′ wide, resulting in a 27′ artful expression of our love. Member’s names are listed by the year they joined the Chorus. It was created & assembled at Mt. Angel Abbey.
