The Seattle Chinese Chorus “SCC” was formed in the spring of 2010, and registered in the State of Washington as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and now has more than 60 members. Our mission is to achieve a high level of artistic singing in a multicultural atmosphere, and for self-enjoyment and entertainment of others. In July 2012, SCC was the only choir from Washington State to go to Cincinnati for the 7th World Choir Games, in which teams from 65 countries participated. We brought home a silver award.
SCC practices weekly on Sunday evenings, and also periodically holds master classes, internal recitals, in addition to our Annual Concerts. We are actively involved in civic and cultural activities in the community, like Celebrate Asia, the Boeing Centennial Celebration, and Senior Recognition in Chinatown. We have performed at Benaroya Hall in conjunction with the Seattle Youth Orchestra, and have presented the Yellow River Cantata on the year of the music’s 70th anniversary. Our members have received preparations in vocal training and sight reading. Through rehearsals and recitals, our choir members experience the exhilaration of choir singing.
Our members are from all walks of life. We work hard. The chorus is our haven for relaxation, a harbor where we can muse over our Chinese traditional culture. It is a garden where we can be reminiscent of our youthful days, and express love for our mother country. It is a classroom for us to pursue the art of singing. Moreover it is the fertile soil for the growth of friendship, understanding, and care for one another. Together we are cultivating, as we wait for the burgeoning of the dazzling blossoms of art. We sincerely welcome new members to join our SCC family.
