Upcoming Performances
In the Spirit of Belonging
To close out our season of Gratitude and Belonging, our choirs will present three concerts that celebrate the sense of community singers form when singing in a choir, with music from across eras and genres that explore ideas of representation, home, unity, and connection.
Adult Choirs
Saturday, June 10th at 7pm
First Congregational Church, Bellevue
Featuring Con Brio and Concord, the two adult choirs of Columbia Choirs, this concert will explore the theme of Belonging with pieces including “All Works of Love” by Pacific Northwest composer Joan Szymko, “Joy” by Jocelyn Hagen, and “Fences” by André Thomas. This concert will also feature a joint performance of Benjamin Britten’s “Concord”, one of the choral dances from Gloriana, his opera first performed in 1953 at the coronation celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II.
Children’s Choirs
Saturday, June 17th at 12:30pm
Bastyr University Chapel
Featuring the four youngest ensembles of Columbia Choirs – Prima, Melodia, Harmonia, and Ragazzi – this concert will celebrate the spirit of Belonging through performance of a wide variety of pieces including “You’ve Got a Friend In Me” from Toy Story, “Ikan Kekek”, a Malay folk song, “Can You Hear Me?” by Bob Chilcott, and more. This concert will also feature over 100 singers in a joint performance of “Adiemus” by Sir Karl Jenkins, a song popularized by Enya and included in The Lord of the Rings movies.
Youth Choirs
Saturday, June 17th at 4pm
Bastyr University Chapel
Featuring the three youth ensembles of Columbia Choirs – Lyrica, Bel Canto, and Cantabile – this concert will explore a multitude of interpretations of Belonging through choral works such as “Grow” by Sarah Quartel, “Silentio Nocivo” by Barbara Strozzi, “Jalakamaladala” arranged by Nariman H. Wadia, and more. This concert will also feature a joint performance by our youth choirs of “The Road Home” by Stephen Paulus.
