North Seattle Women's Choir Seeking New Members

A neighbor would like to share with the community that  Emerald City Women’s Chorus, formerly Rain City Women’s Chorus, which collaborates with Music Center of the Northwest, is looking for new members to join the non-audition chorus. 

All practices are at the Wedgwood Community Church (8201 30th Avenue NE, Seattle) on Monday evenings and concerts are generally at other venues in North Seattle.

Sharon, choir coordinator sent this information:

This is an invitation to all women who would like to sing with a non-audition chorus, Emerald City Women’s Chorus, in North Seattle.   The chorus is looking to expand its membership to all women who want to sing for the joy of singing. 

The chorus meets on Monday nights from 7:30-9:30 pm during the school year, starting on Monday through December 4th, ending with a community concert. The cost is $117 for the Fall quarter.   

The choir sings a mix of genres, from show tunes to classical to folk and rock and roll, with the occasional song in a foreign language. 

Earlier this year, the founder and director of the Rain City Women's Chorus retired and the chorus disbanded after 34 years of providing women who love to sing an opportunity to come together to learn new music, make friends, and to share their passion for music with the Seattle community at quarterly concerts. Many of these chorus members wanted to continue singing together, so in collaboration with Music Center of the Northwest, the Emerald City Women’s Chorus was established.  Stacia Cumberland is the artistic director for the new chorus and Tom Hecker is the accompanist.

For more information contact Sharon Glein at (206) 525-7497. To register call Music Center of the Northwest at (206) 526-8443 or arrive before 7pm on Monday.
