We are so thrilled to be performing our first commissioned work at our concert on June 6th!

Not only will we get to perform the world premier of "Evening Song" for treble voices by Celina Anna Kintscher, but the Celina herself will be at the concert to speak about her music.

Sonoro Women's Choir was able to workshop the piece with Celina and we were all inspired by her passion and generosity. We can't wait to share it with you. 💙

What do you love about singing with Sonoro?

"I love how I immediately felt welcomed as well as supported by the choir and Mr. Shilley, despite joining late. I also love the wide range of music we learn and the opportunities we get to do!"

What do you do in the real world when you're not singing with us?

"I’m attending Pierce College, pursuing a AA. I participate in my church’s choir too. I like calligraphy, baking, reading (mostly fiction and random poetry), biking, swimming, babysitting, solving puzzles, making or fixing jewelry, and hanging out with my friends!"

We were so honored to have Haniye Kian join us at our spring retreat to work on Behind the Caravan by Abbie Betinis. Haniye generously guided us through our Farsi pronunciation and helped deepen our understanding of the poetry.

If you saw this piece a few seasons ago, we can't wait to present it to you again this spring at Lagerquist Hall with renewed love and appreciation for the work.
