The
Choir of the West
is the premier choral ensemble of the Department of Music at Pacific
Lutheran University. Founded in 1925, the choir was the third
Lutheran college choir to tour extensively throughout the country. The
ensemble is comprised of undergraduate majors from a wide variety of
academic disciplines. Yearly performances include shared concerts
with other PLU ensembles, the annual series of Christmas concerts,
campus ministry events, and campus celebratory events. Choir of the
West has a rich history of domestic touring, and every four years
travels abroad. The Choir of the West has been selected to appear at
several conferences sponsored by the American Choral Directors
Association, including the 2013 national conference held in Dallas,
Texas. The choir has also performed for regional conferences of the
National Association for Music Education. The Choir of the West has
performed in Japan, Scandinavia, and Europe. In 2011 the choir won
two gold and one silver award at the prestigious Harmonie Festival,
held in Limburg-Lindenholzhausen, Germany.
The Pacific
Lutheran University Choral Union
is considered one of the outstanding community choruses in the United
States. The choir was established in 1984 to create an ensemble for
the university that would bring together singers from the surrounding
community, PLU faculty and staff, alumni and students. Since that time
it has grown to a full membership of 60-70 singers, with a touring
choir of approximately 30-40 singers. Members are selected by an
annual audition, and the choir meets one evening each week for
rehearsal during the academic year. The choir performs three or four
concerts each year, with programs comprised of shorter choral works,
or those that focus on major choral literature with orchestra or
chamber instrumentation. Choral Union has been selected to perform
for regional and national conferences of the American Choral Directors
Association and has toured Europe on three occasions, appearing as the
featured choir at the World Harp Congress (2002, Geneva), at the
Cambridge (England) Summer Music Festival (2005) and Festival Bled
(Slovenia) in 2008. In the summer of 2011 Choral Union toured
Scandinavia, and plans are under way for a tour of Italy in 2014.
Choral Union’s 25th Anniversary Album was the
recipient of the 2011 American Prize for oustanding recording by a
community chorus. The choir often collaborates with area orchestras
such as the Northwest Sinfonietta, Tacoma Youth Symphony and the
Everett Philharmonic, and has collaborated with the PLU Choir of the
West and University Symphony Orchestra. In March of 2012 Choral Union
served as the choir for the Fifth Avenue Theatre’s concert production
of Titanic, held in Seattle.
