🎶 Come sing with us! Auditions are open 🎶

Puget Soundworks is an all-gender chorus, amplifying queer joy and community in the Puget Sound region. We are here to make the world a kinder, more inclusive place, one song at a time. We welcome queer folks, allies, and diversity of all kinds — and we want you to sing with us this fall!

When:  Friday, August 7 from 6-9 pm. (Note: Saturday, August 8th auditions are full)
Where: Seattle First Baptist Church
How to prepare: Keep it simple! Just prepare 16 bars of a song you love (a cappella or with your own backing track). We’ll check your range and pitch matching, but sight reading is not required.
Our next concert:   Our next show is called “Gratitude” and we will perform three concerts on November 21-22. Rehearsals are Wednesdays (6:30–9:00 PM) starting Aug 26th in downtown Seattle. 

Come for the music, stay for the family. We hope to see you soon.

Puget Soundworks receives grant funding!

As many of you know, both our chorus members and our audiences continue to grow in size. This is very exciting! It does come with some logistical challenges.

We have outgrown our existing riser space. In our May 2022 concert “Belonging,” we had 38 singers on stage. At our April 2026 concert “Resist,” we had 92 singers on the risers. In addition, we hosted the Seattle Labor Chorus at that show, which led us to a total of 124 singers on the risers. It was a tight fit!

We anticipate that an additional set of risers will add greatly to singer comfort, visibility and safety. We will need to raise an additional $635 to complete the project, which has a total project cost of $1,833.00. Please consider making a donation to our “Raise a Riser” campaign to help us complete our riser platforms.

Farewell to Vanessa Grose and Jina Jansson!
