Norwegian Male Chorus of Seattle
Seattle, WA

The Norwegian Male Chorus of Seattle was founded in 1889 -- the year of Washington's statehood -- and is the oldest continuously operating choral organization in Seattle.

In addition to the annual Sangerfest, our performance schedule includes Sons of Norway Leif Erikson Lodge functions, Yulefest and Tivoli Viking Days events at the Nordic Heritage Museum and the Sytende Mai Parade.

This year we are joining with the Seattle Norwegian Ladies Chorus and the Helvig Mannscor from Norway in a concert honoring the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition Centennial celebration in Seattle.

Also for the past two seasons we have joined with a barbershop harmony chorus, “The Seattle SeaChordsmen” in presenting “A Ballard Christmas.”

Rehearsals

Rehearsals take place every Monday evening at 7:00 at the Nordic Heritage Museum, at 3014 NW 67^th Street, except for the last Monday of the month. That rehearsal is located at the Norse Home 5311 Phinney Ave N.
