    What We Do

    How to Join

    Our History

    We have several seasons each year with a wide variety of repertoire. Our approximate schedule:

    • August - light-hearted tunes for the Kittitas County Fair.
    • Sept-Dec - an uplifting winter concert + downtown caroling.
    • Jan-June - our annual "Classics + Rock" concert with rock band & silent auction.

    Our History

    How to Join

    Our History

    Founded around 2012 by Ellensburg's own Lee Bates, this "do-good" choir has raised thousands of dollars for local non-profits & performed with dozens of special guest artists. Jan brought the choir back to life after the pandemic as its new director.
