A triumphant 10th anniversary concert for the Northwest Repertory Singers

Glad energy and a warm tone were the hallmarks of this weekend’s Saturday concert by the Northwest Repertory Singers. A celebration of the choir’s 10th anniversary, and repeated again tomorrow afternoon, the program highlighted the ensemble’s strengths – focus, warm singing and excellent programming – while only occasionally falling short of its usual high standard.

Much of the program was challenging singing. An opening of Samuel Barber’s three-poem “Reincarnations” brought out the always-excellent vocal balance, with nice bass support and good diction in the homage to “Mary Hynes.” The eerily chromatic descending canon of “Anthony O’Daly” had a fierce crescendo and moving dissonances; “The Coolin” a warm tone. When this choir sings love-songs, you truly believe them.

Northwest Repertory Singers mark 10-year milestone with season finale

There’s no shortage of choirs in South Puget Sound. It’s a measure of success the Northwest Repertory Singers has not only reached its 10th birthday, but has done it in style: consistently full houses, difficult and locally based repertoire, an eclectic array of programming and 60 singers who show up each Monday night because they love it.

There’s no shortage of choirs in South Puget Sound. It’s a measure of success the Northwest Repertory Singers has not only reached its 10th birthday, but has done it in style: consistently full houses, difficult and locally based repertoire, an eclectic array of programming and 60 singers who show up each Monday night because they love it.

“The choir has continued to grow, both in quality and in presenting a more professional image,” said founding director Paul Schultz. “I keep raising the bar in terms of repertoire, but also in our approach and commitment to preparation. And ... we’re blessed by a tremendous response – playing to full houses over the last four or five years.”

The response has been so positive, in fact, that for the choir’s 10th anniversary celebration this weekend they’ve decided to perform their concert twice, on Saturday and Sunday. The program covers everything this choir has done well during the past decade – Northwest composers such as Morten Lauridsen, difficult works such as Samuel Barber’s “Reincarnations,” a new commission from Schultz’ wife, composer Donna Gartman Schultz, and profound writing from poets such as Paul Laurence Dunbar, Dylan Thomas and Rainer Maria Rilke.
