Bellevue Chamber Chorus is in its fourth decade of bringing
beautiful, inspiring, exciting choral music to the Greater Eastside and Puget Sound region.
We’re (virtually) Still Singing!
Dear friends,
Although we had high hopes for holding live concerts again starting in Fall 2020, or even in March 2021, research shows that we must remain cautious, for the health and safety of our singers, audience members and volunteers. But this doesn’t mean we’re sitting around moping! On the contrary, members of the Chorus are working hard to find new ways to sing together, learn new skills and bring choral music to our community in new, safe and even more convenient ways!
~ Ben Luedcke, Artistic Director

Enjoy our "Virtual Performances!"
We’re putting together a slate of choral workshops and “virtual choir” recordings over the next few months.
Join us on Tuesday, December 22 at 7:30 pm PT on YouTube or Facebook for our “virtual choir” performance of Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire (The Christmas Song), by Robert Wells/ Mel Torme, arr. Ringwald. This recording features our wonderful pianist Kristine Anderson, soloists Tara Angeles and Sarah Lytle, and holiday memories/artwork from our community!
Sign up for E-Newsletter updates!
Because Bellevue Chamber Chorus is unable to meet in person for a while, we’re sending out a new “newsletter” to keep in contact with our community! These emails will occur no more than 1x month, and include notes from our Artistic Director and insider updates on things that the Chorus is doing and planning for the upcoming “virtual” new season.
