A Brief History

 
The Master Chorus Eastside (formerly the Issaquah Chorale) began in 1991 as a small, non-auditioned ensemble, and has since grown into a polished, fully auditioned chorus and one of the premiere arts organizations on the Eastside. It is known for its innovative and imaginative programming, from its family-style “All-American Independence Celebration,” featuring American music and historical tidbits, to large choral/orchestral works, a capella repertoire, multi-cultural explorations, and jazz and Broadway classics. Its four-concert season is enlivened by conductor Linda Gingrich’s informative concert commentary. The Chorale has also performed with several area orchestras and dance troupes, at local service organization and private functions, at the Everett International Choral Festival, on the Argosy Christmas ship, and as part of KING FM broadcasts.
