Women’s Choir
Women’s Choir is a 50-voice treble choir that sings a variety of literature reflecting the best in music written or arranged for women’s voices. The repertoire ranges from Medieval through contemporary music, both sacred and secular. Women's Choir performs in concerts and at high ceremonies each quarter — as well as annually at the highly acclaimed Sacred Sounds of Christmas, an Advent and Christmas celebration in downtown Seattle that showcases many of Seattle Pacific's ensembles.
As a member of the Women’s Choir, you will perform regularly in concerts, including at the annual Sacred Sounds of Christmas concert in downtown Seattle and in Festival of Lessons and Carols at First Free Methodist Church. Occasionally, Women’s Choir performs at selected churches and organizations in the community as outreach for the University, as well as chapels and other campus events.

Why I Teach at SPU
Ronald Haight, Director of Music Technology
