2007/2008 Concert Season
The Chorus
What a great program. After last summers, we did the Christmas one and the kids loved it also!
Great way to introduce the kids!
My four year olds loved the last one of these (and so did my wife and I).
If your kids love music, get them there. If they don't love music, it's even more urgent to take them!
Children's Concert
FREE MATINEE CONCERT
McCaw Hall
Saturday, March 29 - 2 pm
Thanks to the generosity of long time supporter Debbie Killinger, on Saturday, March 29 Seattle Men’s Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus join forces with Jet City Improv to provide an entertaining, inspiring and free matinee concert for children. Delighted to continue her support of performing arts for youth, Killinger reflected, “I started going to Chorus performances years ago and really got hooked. Since Seattle is the emerald city it’s fitting that we have such a gem in the Choruses.”
The show will include material from the Choruses spring concerts and will spark the imagination with a fresh new experience for children of all ages. Killinger continued “The concert is a great example of how we can expose children to the arts and show how there is something universal and unifying about music.” With a non-stop hour of extravagant music, improv and theatrics, each organization will bring their talents to the stage, showcasing the variety of arts available for children in our community.
TICKETS MAY BE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR ON A FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED BASIS
Special Guests
Jet City Improv &
Seattle Children's Theatre
Jet City Improv has been a mainstay of Seattle theater and improv for almost 15 years. Founded in 1996, Wing-it Productions is the producing genius behind Jet City Improv, Twisted Flicks, The Fremont Outdoor Cinema and various other improv-related shows. Wing-It Productions began doing kids' programs with its Saturday Morning Cartoon Show, which lit up the stage from 2004 to 2005. Since taking over the Historic University Theater in September of 2003, Wing-It Productions has been growing by leaps and bounds. Wing-It and Jerk Alert Productions teamed up to present Hogwash, an "... improvised tall tale for small children" that first opened at the Historic in September 2006. The success of this production led to another, and, I think it is safe to assume, many more to come in the future.
Debbie Killinger has been involved with the Choruses since 1996 and is dedicated to a variety of philanthropic causes including: Rosehedge, Bailey-Boushay, Seattle Repertory Theater (where she serves on the board of directors), Woodland Park Zoo, Foundation for Early Learning, and Future Teachers of Color Scholarship Program at Washington State University.
