The Kirkland Choral Society has completed its 2012-13 concert season, and we thank our concertgoers, volunteers, supporters, and musical colleagues for another successful and fulfilling year.
We are now finalizing plans for 2013-14 – our 25th Anniversary season! Please visit our site again – we’ll post the details here as soon as we can.
Meanwhile, please join us and our fellow Eastside choruses for Eastside Sings: another summer of exploring – by singing! – major works from the classical choral canon.

Songs of Starlight
Friday, December 7 at 8 p.m. – First United Methodist Church, Seattle
Sunday, December 9 at 3 p.m. – Bastyr University Chapel
A unique holiday celebration in which every musical selection refers to starlight. The program takes listeners on a journey through the cycle of a day, with “stars of the morning”—such as J.S. Bach’s How Brightly Shines the Morning Star, and Ola Gjeilo’s Sunrise Mass—and proceeding on to “stars at night”—featuring familiar starlit carols, stellar masterworks, and offerings from choral music’s “rising stars.”
