Our Mission
Mirinesse Women's Choir connects singers to each other and our audience through the choral art.
Our Vision
Mirinesse Women's Choir envisions a culture that broadly supports choral arts and promotes the social, emotional and physical benefits of the shared choral experience.
“Their sound is pristine, strong, utterly secure . . . an ensemble that delivers solid, soaring goods with a venturesome repertoire.”
Co-founded in 2006 by Rebecca Rottsolk and Beth Ann Bonnecroy, Mirinesse Women’s Choir has thrilled audiences in Seattle and around NW Washington with the beautiful sound of healthy, classically trained adult women’s voices singing challenging and diverse repertoire from historic and contemporary sources throughout the world. There are usually 50-60 singers in the choir, all volunteers.
Mirinesse rehearses 3-1⁄2 months each year preparing one program presented in several performances around the Pacific Northwest. The Choir has produced four CDs and has many songs available on YouTube, and regularly supports new works through consortium commissions with women’s choirs throughout North America. Mirinesse has been honored to perform at the 2009 National Convention of the American Association of Choral Directors in Oklahoma City, the NW Regional ACDA Convention in Seattle, Vancouver BC’s Elektra Women’s Choir Tapestry Festival in 2012 and 2023, and the 2016 International Choral Festival in Missoula, MT.
