About Us:
The Ambler Station Singers were founded in July 2018 as a choral ensemble to provide excellent musical entertainment in the Ambler Pennsylvania area as well as surrounding communities.
We are a non-auditioned choir. What that means is that you are not required to pass
some form of test in order to sing with us. All are Welcome! Our goal is to be an entertaining and excellent choir featuring the music of Stage and Screen, ageless popular tunes, and a few more “serious” pieces as well.
We break our year up into two seasons, firstly, we produce and perform a Holiday Show which features both religious and secular classics designed to put everyone in the spirit of the season.
Our yearly spring show is designed to be fun and entertaining, usually following a theme, with a nice mix of joyful music and deeper substance.

We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) and we are gearing up for our tenth season!
A Few Words From Our President John Dziel
Welcome! Ambler Station Singers is a non-auditioned choir founded by Lisa VanHeldorf in 2018. What that means is that you are not required to pass
some form of test in order to sing with us. The wonder of music is that people that
did not believe they could sing will aspire to sing very well when under a
talented director and surrounded by a joyful choir! Although most of our music
is choral based, the width of possibilities is endless! Want to try to do a solo
or duet? Give it a try! Are you an actor that would like to apply your skills to
act out a musical number? There's room for that! We even have room to rock
things out with our own band! Are you more into doing some serious music? Each
season we also take on a few challenging pieces as well. Every year is an
adventure! We recently sang with a 74 piece symphony orchestra and it was
wonderful. You never know what the next season will bring!
In addition to our main concerts in the spring and fall, we also perform a
lot of smaller shows, bringing joy to those in our retirement communities and
other small venues. In December, we can be found caroling in the streets of
Ambler! There is a lot of spirit in our choir. Even during the dark days of
COVID we managed to put together a one-hour "TV" show concert and did
14 songs that we recorded in "Virtual Choir" fashion without ever
being in the same room!
As a founding member, I have been with this choir and had a lot of fun! We
are now working on our 7th year and the future looks bright! I invite you to
join us and discover your musical gifts as well as "family" of choir
friends!
With best wishes,
John Dziel / President
