The inaugural event of the newly formed Palouse Two Rivers Beer Choir will be held at 7 pm on October 19 at the Rants & Raves Brewery, 308 N. Jackson Street, Moscow.

A national phenomenon, beer choirs are informal gatherings at breweries and pubs that include organized group singing. No musical experience is required, and all are invited.

The 10-song hymnal may be downloaded at beerchoir.com. Paper copies will also be provided. The website also includes more information about beer choirs.

The Palouse Two Rivers chapter is sponsored by the Palouse Choral Society. For more about this choir and its upcoming concerts, see www.palousechoralsociety.org.
