Katherine L. White Hall, Vashon Island | Katherine L. White Invitational Choral Festival (or Kay White Choral Fest) showcases six of the Northwest’s finest and most diverse choral ensembles. The Kay White Choral Fest is a non-competitive event that seeks to support and celebrate the musical excellence and individuality of each invited ensemble. Ensembles are given their own evening or matinee performance slot to perform a full program that sings of their uniqueness, echoes their musical influences and legacies, and resonates with their community. The Sound of the Northwest is a community choir founded in 1987 by Juan Huey-Ray for the purpose of preserving and presenting the music of the Black American heritage, particularly the Negro Spiritual. It is one of a small number of choirs nationwide that focus on a repertoire of African American Spirituals, and the only such choir in the Seattle area.
