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.

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.
