Midwinter Revels performance choruses.
The core of the Midwinter Revels production are our volunteer choruses: the Children’s Chorus, Teen Chorus and the Adult Chorus.
Adult Chorus
The Adult cast members perform in the show in a variety of ways, but most predominantly as a mixed chorus (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) who sing approximately 15 songs in the show. The cast also plays acting roles, performs dances, and participates generally in a large-scale theatrical production.
Teen Chorus
The Teen cast members perform in the show in a variety of ways, but most predominantly as a mixed chorus (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) who sing approximately 5 songs in the show as a separate chorus, as well as participating in storyelling and dances alongside the Children’s Chorus. They will also join the Adult chorus on several pieces.
Children’s Chorus
The Children’s Chorus members perform throughout the show as singers, dancers, and occasionally puppeteers! They will usually perform 3-4 pieces (songs, dances, stories) as a separate chorus, and then join the Adult & Teen chorus on several pieces.
The 2026 Midwinter Revels auditions are not yet scheduled.
Please email auditions@portlandrevels.org for more information about upcoming auditions.
Other singing opportunities…
Community Chorus.
Portland Revels Community Chorus is a non-auditioned group of singers who meet once a week February through May simply for the joy of singing. There is no planned performance element to the Community Chorus, the goal is community, exploration of musical styles, and a non-competitive way to experience a choral environment.
The 2026 Community Chorus is open for enrollment! The program runs February 17th through May 19th on Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm at Grant Park Church in Northeast Portland.

Spring Revels 2026 is a collaboration with Theatre Diaspora that will perform April 24-26, 2026 in the Ellyn Bye Studio Theatre at Portland Center Stage and will then tour throughout the Portland metro area.

Matching Gifts
Many companies and organizations have matching gift programs that will double or even triple your contribution. Have your gift matched today! Ask your company’s human resources department for a matching gift form. Fill out the quick and easy paperwork and include the completed form with your mailed contribution Portland Revels. We will confirm your gift to your employer, credit you with the combined gift, and publicly recognize your company’s generosity.
Individual Retirement Account - Charitable Rollover
Make a difference while reducing your tax burden! You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $100,000) per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as Portland Revels without having to pay income taxes on the money.
Reasons to consider this gift option:
– Beginning in the year you turn 72, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD).
– You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
– Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.
Please note: We must receive your gift by Dec. 31 for your donation to qualify this year. If you have check-writing features on your IRA, please be aware that your check must clear your account by Dec. 31 to count toward your required minimum distribution for the calendar year.
Planned Giving
In these uncertain times, it is even more important to secure our future. If you have ever considered including Portland Revels in your legacy, now is a wonderful time to do so.
Donor Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations that are important to you.
When you contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to virtually any IRS-qualified public charity. Speak to your financial planner to set up a donor advised fund.
If you wish to make a donation to Portland Revels from your donor advised fund, please request that checks are made payable to Portland Revels and mailed to the following address: Portland Revels, 128 NW 11th Avenue, Portland Oregon, 97209
Portland Revels tax identification number is 13-1134622
