Northwest Girlchoir

Celebrating 28 years of musical excellence, the Northwest Girlchoir mission, to develop a community of young musicians, is realized through encounters with great music in an environment that nourishes personal growth and provides exciting performance opportunities. Through an annual performance schedule, including five mainstage concerts, numerous informal community performances, and frequent national and international tours, Northwest Girlchoir fulfills its mission and reaches out to audiences in ways that are inclusive, educational and enjoyable for everyone.

The Northwest Girlchoir has consistently distinguished itself as a model of the highest standards of artistry and performance, and it is a valued participant in national and international choir festivals.

Among the Choir's credits are invitational performances at the Regional/National Conventions for the American Choral Directors' Association; 1992 triple-award winners at Hungary's Bela Bartok International Choral Festival and second place (Vivace Choir) in the Des Moines International Children's Choral Festival. Northwest Girlchoir was the Honor Choir at Disneyland in the summer of 1996, and placed third in the Ladies' Division at the 1998 International Music Festival at Cantonigros, Spain.

The consistently strong artistic and management standards are implicit in the selection of NWGC as one of three US children's choir to receive continuing National Endowment for the Arts funding. Equally important, the Choir's increasingly sold-out mainstage performances attest to Puget Sound area's regard for the Northwest Girlchoir.

Over 100 members of the Girlchoir, directed by Rebecca Rottsolk, bring together this concert of songs and simple, elegant texts that celebrate the resiliency of the human spirit against great adversity. The essence of the CD comes from the first song, the words taken from a cellar wall where Jews were hiding from the Nazis in WWII: "I believe in the sun even when it is not shining... and I believe in God even when God is silent." There are 3 songs from "I Never Saw Another Butterfly," a musical memorial to the 15,000 children who passed through the town of Teresienstadt on their way to Auschwitz. 14 songs, all lightly accompanied, that touch the heart from these talented young voices!
