The Capital City Chorus of Olympia is pleased to announce that we will be presenting our Summer sing this year on Sunday July 13, 2025 at 3:00PM.  This concert is being sponsored by the City of Lacey, who graciously gifted us the use of the WA Center for the Performing Arts, where it will be held.

To highlight the City of Lacey, we are seeking compositions by local composers to be featured in this performance.

Specifics requirements:

Submitted compositions must be scored for (SATB), (SSAATTBB), (SSAA) or (SSA), or other voicings along those lines. (The Capital City Chorus has a mixed ensemble and an adult treble ensemble, both of which are performing on July 13.)  Compositions may have piano or organ accompaniment, or be a cappella.  Pieces should be 2-5 minutes in length.  Submissions need not be composed specifically for this event.  Past works by eligible composers are encouraged.  The text of the compositions may be of any nature, religious or not, but composers must have permission to use whatever texts they choose, or they must be in the public domain.  Composers are welcome to submit up to four (4) pieces for consideration.

Composers agree to let the Capital City Chorus make copies of their work, for perusal, rehearsal, and concert use on the July 13 concert only.  If CCC wishes to use the composer’s work after that point, CCC will discuss compensation with the composer. Composers understand that their submission may or may not be chosen for this event.  CCC will not share compositions with anyone outside of CCC.

The deadline for submissions is May 1, 2025 at 11:59PM PST.  Submissions received after that point will not be considered.  Submissions must be sent via e-mail to: [email protected]  OR hard copies can be mailed to : Capital City Chorus, PO Box 6365, Olympia, WA, 98507.  Composers also grant CCC permission to perform their work if it is chosen.  The concert will be free of charge, and the Capital City Chorus will not benefit financially in any way from the potential use of compositions.

Composers chosen will be notified by June 1, 2025, and will be invited to attend the concert and be acknowledged from the stage.

Submissions must also include a sentence or two explaining the composer’s connection to the City of Lacey.

Please reach out to Dan Colgan ([email protected]) if you have any further questions regarding this.
