Illumni Men’s Chorale is one of Seattle’s newest Men’s Ensembles.
Founded in November 2009, the group can be best described as a bunch of guys who just like to sing! Membership is made up of everything from serious choral hobbyists, to some full time professional musicians. The group also includes several instrumentalists, teachers, and church musicians.
Ages in the group range from 19 to 65, and we are open to all who wish to audition.

Our unofficial motto is “Just Sing!” We believe that so many people get tied up in the technicalities of the art and administration, that they forget to walk on stage and, “Just Sing!”. We strive to do this by having everything ready in advance, and having our skills up to ‘snuff so that when it comes to concert time, we can “Just Sing!”.

Engaging our audience is very important to us. We do this by performing innovative concerts, and asking our audience to become part of them. We continuously pursue new songs and arrangments, and hope to present some of the most beautiful classical music ever written. At the same time, we are never afraid to bust out a classical arrangement of some Brittney Spears, or sing like the ‘Chimpmunks’ in the ‘Christmas Song’ if it helps bring our audience along for the ride!

The Men of Illumni are dedicated to our community and have consistently offered programs to help members of our community who may not otherwise by exposed to this type of music the chance to see our concerts. These programs have included free tickets for low income families & those in need, and free tickets for members of our Armed Services and their families.

Where are the girls? We get asked this question a lot. Illumni has made a consistent effort to engage female artists for all our concerts, and we have yet to host a concert without one! Guests Artists have included: Soprano Jennifer Ceresa of Seattle Opera & the Seattle Choral Company, Cora Rueter Foster of the Trans Siberian Orchestra, Harpist Tealah Hill of the Tacoma Symphony, Melanie Hariss – our first Associate Conductor, and the award winning local LiveWire Quartet! We thank these talented ladies for being part of our shows.
