The Market Street Singers is a non-audition, volunteer community choir based in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. In the eight years since our founding we have grown into a diverse group of 85 singers (and growing). We are proud of our inclusive, service-oriented vision. We seek to be an agent of change and community building through musical excellence and public outreach.

The chorus rehearses under the direction of Chris Vincent, on Tuesday nights from 7 to 9 PM, at the Ballard NW Senior Center, 5429 32nd Ave NW, in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle.

Musical styles range from classical to contemporary and everything in between. We present three concerts each year and sing at outreach and benefit events. There are also social events scattered throughout the year including fundraisers and an annual picnic.

Choral singers of all ages and ranges—soprano, alto, tenor, bass—are encouraged to join.

Although we are a community choir in Ballard, we welcome both singing and non-singing members, no matter where you call home.

To inquire about a performance at your event, or to receive occasional messages about concerts and special events, please contact director@marketstreetsingers.org or call (206) 465-3296.

The Market Street Singers is a recipient of the Civic Partners grant from the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture.
