Rehearsals begin Monday, Sept. 15, for Rainier Youth Choirs, where South King County singers in grades 2-12 can join now for the choir’s 19th season.

Open to youth singers throughout South King County, Rainier Youth Choirs features four levels, which will all perform in three concerts throughout the area: “Beyond Ourselves” concert on Sunday, Dec. 14, “Beyond Borders” concert on Sunday, March 15, 2026, and “Beyond Imagination” concert on Sunday, May 17, 2026.

This Kent-based community youth and tuition-based, non-sectarian 501(c)3 nonprofit organization has a new theme of following one’s dreams, creating positive change and having high hopes for the future. They will meet for rehearsals on Mondays at Cedar Heights Middle School in Covington.

The organization’s Colle Voce and Consonare ensembles, for older kids, will participate in the Worldstrides Music Festival in Anaheim, California, from April 9-12, 2026. These ensembles will also get to be in special “behind the scenes” activities at Disneyland.

On June 7, 2026, the Primo Voce and Bella Voce ensembles for younger kids will perform at Wild Waves Theme Park in Federal Way for the Music in the Parks Festival.
