Name: Keep Marching - Renton
Start: 2026-03-08T15:00:00-07:00
Location: Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center

For our 20th anniversary season and our director's retirement year, we open our concert with four songs we believe are representative of Mirinesse. Bringing in Mirinesse “hallmark” pieces, adventuresome favorite using drones and overtone singing, as well as songs representing our passion for singing together.
We are also revisiting a longer work which we helped commission, Suffrage Cantata, by Andrea Ramsey. Written for women’s chorus, soloists, string quartet, percussion, piano, narrators, and accompanied by a rich multi-media production, the five movements of the piece tell the story of the U.S. Suffrage movement while examining diverse perspectives, which have notoriously been minimized in history. This piece is educational and impactful—both musically and historically. The messages conveyed through this piece of history are as relevant as ever today.
Our concert, Keep Marching, brings in our wish for our 20th year; to have Mirinesse keep marching as a leader in women’s choirs and that our country will march towards a better future for everyone.
