Seattle Peace Chorus 2025-2026 Season
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: Hope Will Not Fail
We will end our 2025-2026 season with a workshop and a concert in June: “Resilience: Hope Will Not Fail” with special guest artist, Mark Miller.

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.

His music has been called the soundtrack for a new generation to express and celebrate hospitality, equity, and justice.
