Homecoming – Everett Chorale with Snohomish County Youth Chorus

The Everett Chorale, together with their sister organization, the Snohomish County Youth Chorus, proudly presents “Homecoming,” the culminating concert of their 60th anniversary season.

This celebration of six decades of music-making features the world premiere of “Home,” a specially commissioned work by composer Giselle Wyers, supported by a grant from the Tulalip Tribes.

Written for the Everett Chorale, the new piece sets text contributed by members of the Chorale themselves — meditations on what “home” means, from “a feeling” to “where the heart is” to “being heard, being free.”

The program also welcomes returning guest conductor Lee Matthews. Artistic direction by Heather MacLaughlin Garbes (Everett Chorale) and Karin Larsen (Snohomish County Youth Chorus), with D. Kim Croft and Grant Hanner accompanying.

About Snohomish County Youth Chorus:

The Snohomish County Children’s Choir was founded in 1999 by local music teacher Shelly Logan to provide a challenging setting for outstanding young singers to further their choral education. Upon Mrs. Logan’s retirement in 2014, SCCC became a branch of the Everett Chorale Association, and in 2016 became the Snohomish County Youth Chorus. Today, SCYC is a not-for-profit, non-auditioned community youth chorus dedicated to the artistic and personal development of all children and youth who love to sing. Our goal is to offer affordable, high-quality vocal instruction to young people residing in Snohomish County and beyond.
