Mission

Our mission is to engage audiences of all ages and backgrounds with the beauty and diversity of the Jewish experience by performing works from across the spectrum of the Jewish choral repertoire. Through our educational and entertaining performances, Seattle Jewish Chorale preserves, celebrates, and advances the cultural heritage of world Jewry, and fosters unity, understanding, and respect within the Jewish community and between Jews and the wider community.

Description

Founded in 2008, the Seattle Jewish Chorale is a volunteer, non-profit, multi generational, mixed, auditioned community choir. Seattle Jewish Chorale is a non-discriminatory organization and welcomes all participants. We believe that music should unite people and bring about "tikkun olam" (a healing of the world). Membership in the Chorale is open to qualified singers without regard to religion, creed, race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, or disability.
