Join us for a joyful singing experience

Please check the home page for the latest details.
Our next semester starts Sunday September 10, 2023. If you're interested in finding out more about joining the Chorale, please fill out the rehearsal contact form on this 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 in early 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. Basic knowledge of music reading is preferred, and we will provide opportunities to strengthen your skills. There is no audition, but you will sing briefly for our director so you can be placed appropriately.
WHERE do we sing?
  • Rehearsals and Performances:  We rehearse in the spacious Pilgrim Hall at the Magnolia United Church of Christ, 3555 W McGraw St, Seattle, WA 98199. We perform in the Magnolia Lutheran Church just a few blocks away. 
​​WHEN do we rehearse?  We rehearse on Sunday nights from 7 to 9:pm.
WHEN do we perform? We hold two concerts each on the first weekend in December and in late April or early May. 
WHAT are the dues?   
Choir members pay $130 dues per semester to cover:
  • Music instruction
  • Accompanist and special performers at concerts
  • Rental of rehearsal and performance venues
  • Use of sheet music
  • Marketing
