About the Chorale

The University of Washington Chorale is an advanced undergraduate ensemble containing students from all majors across the Seattle campus. The chorus has collaborated with many prestigious artists including Seattle Symphony, Andrea Bocelli, Imogen Heap and acclaimed visual artists and dancers. In January of 2024 they appeared as vetted performers at the ACDA NW Regional Conference Closing Performance, singing a full set of their own as well as collaborating with the renowned Choral Arts Ensemble NW. In the summer of 2024, UW Chorale toured Central Europe with performances at ancient churches and cathedrals in Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Their fourth CD, entitled Chasing Daybreak, was released on all streaming platforms earlier this year.
