The 2007–2008 season marks the most exciting season yet for Choral Arts, a professional chamber choir based in Seattle, Washington. After an intensive year long interview and audition process, Choral Arts has named Robert Bode of Walla Walla, Washington as its new Artistic Director. As we begin our 15th season of exceptional choral music, our future looks brighter and better than ever.
Since 1993, Choral Arts has presented its season concerts in both Seattle and Tacoma, and has collaborated with other arts organizations, including the Seattle International Music Festival, Mark Morris Dance Company, Northwest Sinfonietta, and the Seattle Symphony. In 1999, Choral Arts was the only North American choir invited, out of 300 applicants, to participate in the prestigious choir competition in Marktoberdorf, Germany, and placed fourth as well as receiving the prize for "best interpretation of a Romantic choral work". Our recordings are best sellers on the Loft/Gothic label. We continue to explore ways to contribute to the artistic community, and to reach the highest level of choral performance.
