Pop-Up Choir Princeton, ACP

Wednesday March 18, 2026
6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

Pop-Up Choir Princeton is an all-ages community singing experience where families, neighbors, and music-lovers come together to sing pop songs in harmony — no auditions, no pressure, just joy.

• Kids and parents sing side-by-side
• Adults who “used to sing” feel safe to try again
• First-time singers get to experience the magic of choir

Sing shortened versions of well-loved pop songs arranged with easy-to-follow harmonies.

Rather than being divided by age or gender, singers choose the range that feels best for their voice: Low, Middle, or High.

Families sit together and work as a team — either choosing to all sing the same part or challenge each other to sing in harmony.

There will also be moments where singers can volunteer to sing a short line of the melody on their own. If you feel inspired, just raise your hand when prompted and you can try the melody while the choir supports you.

A screen-free singing experience:

Pop-Up Choir Princeton is intentionally phone-free and screen-free. Instead of staring at iPads or projectors, everyone receives a simple lyric sheet and learns the music together by ear and by voice — the way humans have always sung. This keeps the focus on listening, connection, and the shared energy of singing in the same room.
