Saturday, May 17, 2008 - 7:30pm
Mason United Methodist Church
2710 N. Madison St., Tacoma
This concert is a collaboration with the Tacoma Youth Chorus, Judith Herrington and George Guenther, conductors. Our 2006 collaboration with this marvelous organization was so rewarding that we couldn’t wait to share our music once again. The musical theme of the evening is music from our past: folk songs, spirituals, hymns, and tunes that remind us of our youth and journey through life. Each ensemble will present an individual set of pieces and then all singers will combine for a finish you will not want to miss. Highlights include music from Aboriginal chant, harmonic overtone singing, and the artistic blending of an Estonian folk song and an American spiritual.
Tickets are available online, over the phone and at the door. Call 1-800-838-3006 to purchase or buy online now at:

Greetings from the Artistic Director
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 2007-2008 season for Northwest Repertory Singers. This season brings a beautiful December program featuring music expressing thoughts of peace on earth, a collaboration with Northwest Sinfonietta and conductor Christophe Chagnard for two performances of Beethoven’s great Symphony #9, and a collaboration with the marvelous Tacoma Youth Chorus. The excitement of youth and adults standing side by side, sharing music that is challenging and motivating is very special indeed. NWRS will also be featured guest artists at the Leavenworth Choral Festival in April and the women of NWRS will join the Lake Union Civic Orchestra in June for a performance of Gustav Holst’s Planets.
We hope you will join us this season to share the music that means so much to each of us. Our passion for singing and our dedication to the choral art will hopefully result in a rewarding musical experience for our audience.
Most sincerely,
Paul W. Schultz
Artistic Director and Founder
