Welcome

Corona Virus / COVID-19 Program Updates:


The Spring 2021 SFS Virtual Concert Season is in progress! 
SFS audiences – we have missed you!  We started presenting streamed concerts at the end of November 2020, and now have concerts scheduled through May 22. . 

Please help the Concert Committee plan for Fall and beyond! Our concert-goers survey is now available. Please take a few minutes to let us know how you feel about returning to live venues, if you would like streaming options to continue, and more. We want to hear from you! https://baz.link/concertsurvey

Seattle Song Circle is flourishing during COVID-19.  We started video conferencing in February and moved from a dozen people singing together in person to 3 times that from all over.  By the end of July, participants came in from Alaska to Maryland, from Australia to UK and Denmark.  And the weekly sing extended past 11 PDT.  The Seattle Song Circle is meeting 7PM Sundays via Zoom Conferencing, at this link: https://zoom.us/j/358495231 .
SFS new page of virtual sings with events most every day of the week.   

The Emerald City Contra Dance is cancelled until King County reaches Phase four of Washington State’s phased approach to reopening.,  and will update status of future dances on Seattledance.org The organizers note “We look forward to resuming the dances, but that won’t happen soon. Based on the most recent announcement by Gov. Inslee and his phased approach to reopening, the dance is a phase 4 activity. While we don’t know when phase 4 will happen, it’s highly unlikely to be soon.. We will keep you posted when we get more information.” (In the meantime, the Thursday night contra dance has been organizing Stay-at-Home virtual dances – see the webpage for more info)


Ticket buyers of last year’s cancelled Spring concerts: If you purchased tickets in person at other SFS concerts, a credit will be held for you toward a future season until you notify us of a different preference. (You can also request a refund or ask to have the money donated to the artist whose concert was cancelled)
