Eastside Sings presents four choral sing-alongs open to all. Singers of all abilities are invited to join in the thrill of singing great works of choral music.

Music is provided and no auditions are required. This event draws singers from throughout the Seattle metropolitan area from numerous choral groups including the four sponsoring choral groups, Bellevue Chamber Chorus, Cascadian Chorale, Kirkland Choral Society and Master Chorus Eastside.

The 2013 Eastside Sings events are presented by one of the sponsoring choral groups each week. The featured work is introduced, explained, practiced  and then performed. Meeting other singers, getting audition information, refreshments, and door prizes add to the delight and excitement of these evenings.
