Our First Ten Years!

Celebrating Our Tenth Anniversary

And for the first time, we’re performing at the…

Ballard High School Performing Arts Center

1418 NW 65th Street, Seattle, WA  98117

Saturday, September 13, 7:30pm

This is a free event. Contributions are gratefully accepted.

When on September 11, 2004 we created, on short order, a choir to do just one performance at a Ballard ArtWALK event we couldn’t have dreamed it would eventually become one of the area’s largest and most dynamic choral ensembles. Here we are, ten years later, serving up gloriously beautiful choral music and pursuing a mission to build communities with song. This concert, which brings together new members with special alumni from the past, will be a joyful and nostalgic celebration not to be missed. As usually we will present a little bit of everything, much of it our favorite selections from the last ten years, and some things truly new and different.

We are thrilled to be holding this concert at the Ballard High School Performing Arts Center, our first time at that venue. This will provide extra space in the audience for you, and all of your friends and family. So please save the date and spread the word.

The Market Street Singers is a 501(c)3 organization.  Visit the Market Street Singers online for more information about the choir or our upcoming show at www.MarketStreetSingers.org

The “Singers” will perform the ever popular “Gloria in D” by Antonio Vivaldi with orchestral accompaniment and guest soloists Marie Morris and Madison Cox. After some additional “graveside humor” the celebration continues with Earthrise Choir and the WSUU Chorale who always present engaging and thought-provoking selections. The concert closes with all voices singing together; one large vocal ensemble joining two communities.

FESTIVAL OF FAVORITES:  A COMMUNITY CHORAL CELEBRATION

Sunday, January 26

3:00pm

Ballard First Lutheran Church

NW 65th & 20th NW

(across from Smokin’ Pete’s BBQ)

Since 2011 The Market Street Singers has presented community sing-alongs featuring favorite choral classics, familiar “chestnuts” which singers continue to love no matter how many times they sing them. The success of these choral classics festivals has led us to offer them as ongoing events.

We provide the music, all you have to do is show up and enjoy the fun. Singers of all abilities are welcome, and non-singers are welcome to just show up and enjoy the music.  A suggested donation of $10 will help cover expenses.  There is no need to reserve a space, but if we run out of music scores, you may have to share with someone. But isn’t this a lovely way to make friends?

For more information visit www.marketstreetsingers.org.

You can look forward to singing things like:  Billings “Africa” - Morley “April is in My Mistress’ Face” - Mozart “Ave Verum Corpus” - Biebl “Ave Maria” - Farrant “Call to Remembrance” - Billings “David’s Lamentation” - Farmer “Fair Phyllis” - Rutter “For the Beauty of the Earth” - Tallis “If Ye Love Me” - JS Bach “Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring” - Lassus “Jubilate Deo” - Morley “Now is the Month of Maying” - Vittoria “O Magnum Mysterium” - Rene Clausen “Seat Me as a Seal” - Palestrina “Sicut Cervus” - “Sumer is a cumin in” - Brahms “Waldesnacht” - Bennet “Weep O Mine Eyes” - Vittoria “O Vos Omnes”

 

The best gifts under the tree are pre-assembled, with batteries included!

Leave it to us to take care of the music!

  

With All the Trimmings…

The Market Street Singers invite you to open your musical presents, all lovingly prepared and wrapped by some of Ballard’s most enthusiastic and energetic choristers. There will be something for everyone, evoking everything from the high Renaissance to the fire-lit mood of the Carpenters. Have a sample of warm pacific island treats or infectiously happy songs about Chanukah. Strike the harp and tune up the ukulele! There are plenty of presents to go around.  And, of course, there will be our usual holiday sing-along.  And why not take in the December Ballard Art Walk, while you’re at it?

We're joining together

Yes, all the choirs of the Greater Seattle Choral Consortium including The Market Street Singers are joining together to make a joyful noise unto Seattle at Seattle Sings 2013! We start our new season on September 24th and, while we'll be working on pieces for our December holiday concerts, we'll also be preparing a few things to sing at the festival. This is going to be a great event bringing the many varieties of Seattle choral groups together under one big roof. Oh and the acoustics of that roof are amazing! We'll be performing Friday evening. Some of the "big name" choirs will be on Saturday. You'll probably want to come out for both. We'll see everybody there!

You can find more information and lineups at the Choral Consortium website or at MarketStreetSingers.org.
