The choir was comprised of talented Portland teenagers and young adults from Self Enhancement’s Music Mastery Program, community members and SEI alumni and staff. The SEI Sounds of Soul Choir has become one of the most inspiring and celebrated choirs in the Portland metro area.

For the past 11 years, this 60+ voice choir has uplifted and entertained its listeners through their powerful delivery and soulful sound. Their motto is “One choir, one sound” which can clearly be seen and heard through their dynamic performances.
