Seattle Peace Chorus 2025-2026 Season
Resilience: the Courage to Dream

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.

Cloud City Choir

Cloud City Choir brings young voices together to imagine and build a brighter future. Through song and harmony, we grow stronger as we move toward the world we believe in.

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.
