NWAA successfully completed its 41st concert season. Annual Dinner/Auction was held in person and raised more than $60,000 in its seventeenth iteration. Artistic Director Dr. Ryan Ellis completed his eleventh year with our adult chorus, and continues to develop the musical skills of the ensemble. Dr. Ellis also took on the new role of Executive Director for the organization. Our senior chorus SilverSounds Northwest was able to keep members engaged for an exciting season of concerts and outreach performances. We added Dr. Tyler Todd Kimmel as Director for newly reformed TeenSounds choir. We supported nine adults with full or partial financial aid for their participation in our choirs. All of our ensembles produced live performances that were well attended.
