For more than two decades, the Sno-King Community Chorale has brought together singers from across Snohomish and King Counties to share the joy, inspiration, and connection that only choral music can provide. Founded in 2000, Sno-King Community Chorale (SKCC) is a nonprofit, non-audition adult choir dedicated to its mission of cultivating strong community bonds through music. The ensemble welcomes individuals of all musical backgrounds who share a desire to learn, grow, and make music in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Under the artistic direction of Dustin Willetts, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most respected choral conductors, SKCC combines a commitment to musical excellence with a strong sense of community. The chorale provides singers with opportunities to develop their vocal skills, experience high-quality choral repertoire, and perform meaningful concerts for audiences throughout the Puget Sound region.
What makes Sno-King Community Chorale unique is its commitment to accessibility and lifelong participation in the arts. Unlike auditioned ensembles, SKCC embraces singers at various stages of their musical journey, creating an environment where experienced vocalists and newcomers alike can contribute their talents. Through rehearsals, performances, and educational experiences, members build lasting friendships while working together toward artistic achievement.
The chorale’s repertoire reflects its broad artistic vision and diverse membership. Audiences can expect performances spanning classical masterworks, Broadway favorites, jazz, gospel, contemporary selections, holiday traditions, and music representing cultures from around the world. This variety allows the ensemble to connect with audiences of all ages and musical interests while continually expanding the musical experiences of its members.
Throughout its history, SKCC has been an active cultural presence in the community. In addition to presenting major concerts, the chorale has participated in civic celebrations, festivals, benefit performances, and outreach events that bring music to schools, senior living communities, and local organizations. Collaborations with other performing arts groups and orchestras have further enriched the ensemble’s programming, creating memorable experiences for performers and audiences alike.
