CORO FEMENINO DE POZO ALMONTE EN SEATTLE

1997

Perform Washington premier of "Mother of Us All," an epic piece about the power of the earth and the feminine principle, by Northwest composer David York and librettist Judith Barrington.
The seed is growing into a spreading tree. We host the Coro Municipal de Pozo Almonte, a women's choir from the desert of northern Chile and Group Dialogo, an energetic folk-music ensemble, enchanting audiences and us in a tour of Washington and Oregon. ( Dirigidos por Carlos Morales Escobar.)
We join The Sound of the Northwest, a gospel choir, for their 10th anniversary concert. Leading up to the concert is a very lively gospel music workshop led by the dynamic Dr. Ysaye Barnwell of Sweet Honey in the Rock, who guest-conducts us in performance.
After 14 years of creative work and service, our founding director Helen Lauritzen moves on to India, and other new challenges. Mark Kloepper becomes our new musical director, also dedicated to the power of music
