Lake Washington Singers (LWS) is a treble choir with members who identify as a soprano or alto voice. There is no formal audition to join the Lake Washington Singers. Members do pay moderate dues per each performance season (Fall and Spring) and there is a refundable costume fee.

Lake Washington Singers (LWS) is a non-profit organization that raises funds for operations costs, community programs, and scholarships through performance ticket sales, fund raising activities, and raffles.  LWS is proud to offer an annual scholarship to a local high school student pursing vocal studies.

We have a strong sense of community and friendship in our group. LWS is managed by an elected board of current singers, and is run through the teamwork of committees. In addition, the choir will present several “mini” concerts throughout the year at local senior communities and assisted living centers. Lake Washington Singers enjoy spending time together after long rehearsals and celebrating together after performances and other events. 

New singers are welcome to join throughout the months of September and January.  Whether you love to sing for the public or only in the shower, you are invited to join us – no formal audition is needed. To learn more about our group, programs, and schedules, interested singers are encouraged to visit and observe our rehearsals.

History. Lake Washington Singers have been spreading the joy of music since 1952! 
Originally called the Lake Washington Choral Society and started by a group from the Eastside chapter of the American Association of University Women, this group has strength in its roots to its past while also stretching towards the future. 
Through the decades, this dynamic and welcoming group has provided an opportunity for singers of varying ages, beliefs and working situations, to perform a variety of music and to further the proficiency of their choral skills.  This group has performed in many different venues:  Christmas Ships, State Legislature in Olympia, Leavenworth & Kirkland Tree Lighting Festival, filmed for a television show called “Choir Practice”, Crossroads Mall, Kirkland Farmers Market, various retirement facilities, singing tour of the British Isles, and were participants in the Barcelona international singing festival. 

We are a group that believes working together to create great music, can also create a great community.  When we sing for others, we share the breadth of our community with each other and with those who attend our performances.
