Special Bulletin - March 2022
After a three-month pause, we are returning to in-person rehearsals beginning in April 2022, using carefully thought-out safety protocols. For the time being these in-person rehearsals will alternate, every other week, with online "virtual rehearsals" conducted on Zoom.
We welcome new and returning members to join us.

We currently have no plans for a public performance, but we are weighing options which could lead us in that direction. Check in with us here for updates.
Take a look at our new video!
In November we posted a short video documenting our journey through the pandemic. "The Market Street Singers: A Community Reawakens" first shows us at our best during our 15th anniversary concert in 2019 and then gives a behind-the-scenes view of how we experienced the lock-downs of the last two years. It ends by showing us rehearsing in-person again, usual strict safety guidelines. The video is all about how we remained resilient and how we are moving into the future with optimism.

Our Mission:
The Market Street Singers is a choral ensemble in Ballard that builds connections within diverse communities. Celebrating the joy of choral music among singers and listeners, we aspire to cultivate neighborhood pride with choral arts that are truly community identified.
A Statement of inclusion:
We recognize that singing builds communities and brings us and our audiences great joy. We want to share this joy, limitlessly with the wider world around us. We therefore include and encourage participation by people of all races, ethnic and national origins, genders and gender identities, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, ages, and physical and mental abilities among our singers and audiences.

Update on our Statement of Inclusion:
As we enter the third decade of the present millennia, we join a growing multitude of voices decrying the tragic effects on our community and nation of continuing inequality, systemic racism, oppression, and violence. We cannot truly experience the joy of singing when others suffer under the destructive effects of exclusion and white privilege. We affirm that all lives cannot matter until Black Lives Matter. We will use our voices to create a world in which justice and equality are not just a dream, but a reality.
