Description

CELEBRATE WITH BELLEVUE CHAMBER CHORUS as we kick off our 40th season of singing!

"Why We Sing" explores the power of music to shape the mind, soften the heart, and inspire the soul. Performances, with guest professional instrumentalists, include Warum by Johannes Brahms, Palestrina’s five-voice motet Exultate Deo, Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds' My Song, music by John Rutter, Dan Forrest, and more.

Since 1984, Bellevue Chamber Chorus has striven to fulfill its mission to share the joy of singing with the community, to pursue diverse and rewarding collaborations, and to strive for musical excellence. Our 40th season features pieces that highlight the role of music in our lives, as singing gives us a voice to express ourselves, it connects us with others and our community, and it helps us to reflect on the past while inspiring hope for a bright future.
