Seattle Peace Chorus 2025-2026 Season
Three Spring Concerts
The theme of our 2025-2026 season is Resilience: the Courage to Dream. We welcome singers near and far to join us to sing music that courageously imagines the world we want to inhabit together. By remembering the wisdom of our ancestors and drawing from the strength of our kindreds around the globe, we will tell stories of resilience to light the way forward.
Resilience: Dare to Dream
Not ready to go home after No Kings Day? Come join us after the march to gather, reflect, and dream the world we all want to inhabit together. We will be singing the prescient words from “Dreams” by poet Langston Hughes along with music of other dreamers, poets, and storytellers who imagined a world where everyone belongs. Come hear music from Godspell and The Greatest Showman, from local composer, John Muehleisen, and renowned poets and composers Charles Anthony Silvestri, Rosephanye Powell, Rollo Dilworth, Dan Forrest, and Kyle Pederson. Let’s all dream of creating a better world together.

Mark A. Miller
A graduate of Yale and Juilliard, Mark is Professor of Church Music, Director of Chapel, and Composer-in-Residence at Drew University. He is also a Lecturer in Sacred Music at Yale University’s Institute of Sacred Music and Divinity School, and Minister of Music of Christ Church in Summit, New Jersey. Previously, he provided musical leadership for Marble Collegiate Church and The Riverside Church (both in New York City).
His sacred music is widely published and sung by communities of faith around the world. Mark’s “Let Justice Roll” (for chorus and orchestra) was performed for “Juneteenth Celebration: All American Freedom Day” in 2019 at Carnegie Hall. His album, Imagine the People of God, is available on iTunes.
Mark has led choirs and performed in Sweden, South Africa, Austria, Russia, and the Baltic states. He spends part of the year traveling around the United States (often with his band, Subject to Change), lecturing, preaching, and presenting concerts focused on creating community and advocating for social justice for all people, especially the LGBTQIA+ community. His music has been called the soundtrack for a new generation to express and celebrate hospitality, equity, and justice.
Mark resides in Plainfield, New Jersey, with his husband, Michael Murden. They have two adult children, Alyse and Keith, and a cat named Oscar.
Cloud City Choir
They’re building a new kind of musical community for youth in Seattle—one that brings people together through powerful, meaningful music. Their choir will perform an exciting mix of styles, from jazz and gospel to a cappella and sea shanties, and everything in between, with a message, and action that matters.
The Cloud City Choir strives to do music that speaks to the youth of today, is uplifting, energetic, original, and from most any genre or tradition.
