Join us for a joyful singing experience!
Here's what you need to know:
(Some of the following details are temporarily changed while we are operating as a virtual choir. Current processes are described on the home page and the "dues" page.)
WHO are we? We are people who love to sing together. We enjoy the challenge of learning traditional choral music, show tunes and new arrangements. Fellowship and friendship are fundamental. Our rehearsals are fun!
WHAT do we sing? We perform two concerts** the first weekend in December, and two concerts in late April. In winter we sing holiday music, both sacred and seasonal. In spring we tackle something lighter and different. We often engage instrumentalists or soloists who add richness to our musical experience.
​WHAT is the approach? Dedicated, disciplined, and light-hearted. We care about our music, and we want everyone to feel included, comfortable and at-home. We are motivated by positive reinforcement.
WHAT level of expertise do I need? We are seeking singers with previous choral experience. The ability to read music is a plus. There is no audition, but new members will sing briefly for our director on the first night so she can place you appropriately. Tenors and basses are especially welcome.
WHERE do we sing?**
Rehearsals We rehearse in spacious Pilgrim Hall at the Magnolia United Church of Christ, 3555 W McGraw St, Seattle, WA 98199
Performances We perform at the beautiful Magnolia Lutheran Church, 2414 31st Ave W, Seattle. Other venues are also possible
​WHEN do we sing?** We rehearse on Sunday nights from 7:00 to 9:15 pm-- the perfect time. No competing obligations, invigorating and relaxing after the weekend.
WHEN do we perform?** We hold two concerts each on the first weekend in December and in late April or early May.
Money***
Choir members pay $130 dues per semester to cover:
Accompanist and special performers at concerts
Rental of rehearsal and performance venues
Use of sheet music
Insurance and other administrative costs
5 performance tickets that may be sold, thereby recouping some expense ​
Dues are payable at the beginning of the semester and may be paid in two installments. If you drop out, refunds will be made during the first month (less an administrative fee). No refunds are given later. Fee waivers are available for members with fiscal limitations – just talk with any board member.
STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS We offer scholarships to students who would like to sing with us. Read more.
