The Glory Singers

The Glory Singers are an ecumenical concert choir from Portland, Oregon co-directed by Douglas Feller and Beth Donnelly.  The choir is celebrating fourteen seasons of musical praise to the Lord, and have performed sacred music from the classical, traditional, contemporary, and gospel genres in their home state.

They have also participated in four gala benefit concerts featuring local soloists from the opera, theater and concert stage in Portland, Oregon USA. 

The Glory Singers have embarked upon three international concert tours.

The first was British Columbia where they received ovations from crowds in the Frasier Valley of Harrison Hot Springs, as well as, the historic city of Victoria B.C. performing concerts at The United Church of Agassiz, The First Metropolitan Church in Victoria, and St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Victoria. 

In May of 2006, the choir traveled to Italy to perform concerts in Florence, Trevi and Rome where they enjoyed appreciative audiences, standing ovations, and requests for encores.  The choir’s itinerary included formal concerts at The Church of Santa Maria del Ricci in Florence, The Church of Saint Francis in Trevi, and Chiesa Evangelica Valdese in Rome; singing for Mass at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome, and a general audience with Pope Benedict XVI.    Informal singing was also enjoyed by all at the airport, on the tour bus, in the hills of San Gimignano, and in the country side at Castallacio. 

Back from a successful concert tour in France, they received shouts of bravo! and encore! from enthusiastic audiences in Bayeux, Chartres, and Paris.
