Seattle Women's Chorus Presents LEGENDS OF ROCK!  Image

Seattle Women's Chorus (SWC) wraps their 2018-2019 season with one big blowout concert at Benaroya Hall on April 28 at 4pm. Legends of Rock is a loud proud ode to the trailblazing singer-songwriters who weren't afraid to raise their voices and make a scene. Eighteen indomitable women are represented in song; women like Tina Turner, Janis Joplin and Carly Simon who erupted onto the mainstream rock scene. They blew a hole through the glass ceiling that generations of women rockers like Patti Smith, Joan Jett, Alanis Morissette, Florence Welch and Debbie Harry have continued to soar through.

Local musical treasure Sarah Rudinoff is the special guest artist. She is joined on stage by Season 6 "The Voice" contestant Ayesha "Musicbox" Brooks. Rudinoff, Brooks and SWC are partnering to raise funds for Rain City Rock Camp scholarships, together their contributions will offset tuition for girls and gender non-conforming individuals of diverse backgrounds.

SWC is performing a benefit concert to support CADA (Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse) on April 20 in Langley, WA. Tickets are available through Brown Paper Tickets.

Tickets to Benaroya Hall Seattle performances are $15-$65 and available at www.seattlechoruses.org or over the phone at (206) 388-1400. The Seattle area box office is open Monday through Friday, 11:00AM-6:00pm

The internationally renowned Seattle Men's Chorus (founded 1979) and Seattle Women's Chorus (founded 2002) comprise the largest community choral organization in North America. Both choruses stand out as the largest LGBTQ-identified men's and women's choruses in the world. The choruses comprise one of the Pacific Northwest's largest, most vibrant and successful music organizations, performing in Seattle's most prestigious venues for an annual audience of more than 30,000 patrons. Flying House Productions is the not-for-profit organization that governs and manages the Choruses. Collectively there are over 600 singing members along with staff, volunteers, and associate members who support both Choruses. They are a leading voice for the LGBTQ community and offer more than 30 outreach events and main stage concert performances annually.
