Northwest Girlchoir will perform a brief “history in song” of the first peoples to call Seattle home. The program concludes with the world premiere of a piece by Andrea Ramsey (text by Walt Whitman) commissioned to celebrate the Girlchoir’s 40th anniversary, the ever greater diversity and thriving “choir scene” in the Puget Sound, and Chorus America’s visit to Seattle!

Opus 7's program goes on to include "Answer: The Snow" and "Answer:The Cow" from Riddle Me This by William Bergsma, Nada te turbe by Joan Szymko, Thanksgiving Day, 1861: One Vacant Chair by Bern Herbolsheimer, I Saw a Stranger by Avshalomov, and Tongues of Fire by John Muehleisen.
