If you're interested in a more folk approach, look for a group in your area. I'm in New England and there's several good sacred harp and shape note groups which take a more casual drop-in approach; members are encouraged but definitely not required to attend meetings regularly, and the emphasis is more on the joy of singing in a group, rather than rehearsal for a performance.

Favorite Glass opera? And would you have the fortitude to conduct something like Einstein? ;)

Very popular throughout the US, at least.

Seeing Einstein performed live was a life-changing experience. Progressed through perplexment, boredom, analysis, hypnotism, and eventually sheer ecstatic unity with the music. A very meditative and intense process.
