Magnolia Chorale rehearsals for the December concert, begin on Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. Rehearsals will take place at Magnolia United Church of Christ, 3555 West McGraw St.

Directed by music director Joseph To, Magnolia Chorale is launching its new season. The Chorale, a community of singers who share a passion for all kinds of music, is looking for singers in all voice parts. Members come from all over the Seattle area, and all walks of life. If you have some choral experience and a basic ability to read music, you’ll fit right in. There’s no audition, just a brief voice placement session with director Joseph To.

The rehearsals lead up to the Chorale’s December concert “Dark and Luminous Night,” on Dec. 9-10, which explores the darkness and brightness of the night as well as various forms of illumination and how they bring comfort. The second half will be a celebration of mystery and hope with Vivaldi’s Gloria. Concert tickets will be available through magnoliachorale.org and at the door.

In April 2024, the Chorale will celebrate its 35th anniversary of making music in Magnolia with a joyful concert and celebration, including old favorites, a newly commissioned piece, food and drink, and general merriment.
