The Everett Chorale continues its 60th diamond jubilee season with a concert titled “Home in the Highlands.”

The Everett Chorale, together with our sister organization, the Snohomish County Youth Chorus, and accompanied by the Everett Chorale Celtic Players, proudly presents the second concert of our 60th anniversary season, Home in the Highlands. This spirited program features music rooted in the traditions of Ireland and Scotland, performed by both adult and youth choirs, and celebrates our upcoming 13-day tour of those countries. Highlights include Loch Lomond, Only Time (Enya), A Gaelic Blessing (John Rutter), Black Velvet Band, and The Lake Isle of Innisfree. The Youth Chorus will perform favorites such as Rattlin’ Bog, Mairi’s Wedding, and Siúil a Rúin. The concert also includes selections reflecting the broader theme of “home,” including Steal Away.

Concert: Sunday, March 29, 2026

Time: 3 pm to 5 pm

Location: Everett Performing Arts Center, 2710 Wetmore Avenue, Everett, WA

Our June 2026 concert will feature a new composition created just for the occasion of our 60th anniversary, along with invited previous conductors of the Chorale to lead some of our songs. Repertoire will include new and old favorites that highlight the feelings of home. Our youth chorus will join us in this season finale. Long time Chorale supporters will enjoy our rendition of “Say it With a Song,” along with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “You’ll Never Work Alone,” John Rutter’s “Home is a Special Kind of Feeling” and Carlisle’s “Crowded Table.”

Tickets will be available on the Everett Village Theater’s website, and the link will be shared here when available.

The Everett Chorale is celebrating our 60th season, our diamond jubilee, in 2025/2026. Our theme for the season is Home. The pieces for each concert will explore various aspects of what home means, from physical dwelling to a sense of belonging, resilience, and inner peace, reflect ing our gratitude and commitment to the future of this remarkable group.

Our December concert, Home for the Holidays, will features some familiar holiday songs including O Come, O Come Emmanuel and Silent Night. Works by Holst, Boykin and Dubra will celebrate the joy of the season. Our special guests will include the Snohomish County Youth Chorus and an instrument ensemble.

In March, we recall St. Patrick’s Day and old country roots with “Home in the Highlands.” This Celtic-themed concert welcomes guests the Everett Chorale Celtic Players and Snohomish County Youth Chorus with choices by Rutter, “She Walks in Beauty,” and Ames, “Amazing Grace.”

June’s concert celebrates homecoming, and we hope to bring back previous chorale conductors. Audiences will recognize Pink Zebra’s “Fly Away Home,” Rutter’s “Home is a Special King of Feeling,” and a commissioned piece by a Northwest composer.
