About ChoralSounds Northwest
ChoralSounds
Northwest (CSN) is a Burien-based mixed chorus that offers the
fun of singing traditional choral music as well as new
arrangements with a decidedly theatrical style.
A friendly, cohesive group of dedicated musicians who are
drawn together by their love of choral singing, CSN offers a
musical home to singers who want to experience the fun and
camaraderie of singing and performing with a professional group.
CSN concerts are much more than typical choral concerts. Sets,
costuming, lighting, choreography and drama all combine for
fun-filled, theatrical shows.
Concert Season
CSN’s
2009-10 concert season includes 2 mainstage productions,
including the holiday concert in early December and a pops
concert in mid May, at the Highline Performing Arts Center in
Burien. CSN will also present its second annual Cabaret on
Valentine’s Day, 2010.
CSN offers many solo, duet, and small ensemble opportunities
to our singing membership. These performances are enhanced with
special sets, lighting, and choreography, making them a fun and
entertaining experience for performers and audiences alike.
Other Season Events
In addition to the mainstage concerts in Burien, CSN is
sometimes asked to perform at various other functions within the
greater Seattle area. In the past, CSN has joined with other
area amateur musical organizations for joint performances at
Seattle’s incredible Benaroya Hall. The chorus has performed at
Carnegie Hall in New York City, and in June 2001 the chorus made
its first trip abroad, where it toured Italy while performing in
its churches and performance halls.
Membership
Membership in CSN is open to all
singers of high school age and older who want to sing with the
chorus. Singers who decide to join CSN will be asked to sing a
short excerpt from any song of their choice – with or without
accompaniment, in a private session with the conductor, to help
him place their voice in the chorus. Previous choral singing
experience and the ability to sight-read are desired, but not
required for membership. Click
