2009 East Coast Concert Tour
The Grammy-nominated Northwest Boychoir will kick-off its two-week 2009 Summer Concert Tour of Washington DC and North Carolina with a public concert at 7 pm, Thursday, July 2 at Plymouth Church in downtown Seattle. The concert will feature the 40-member Northwest Boychoir performing a program of classical choral works by Vivaldi, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Casals as well as traditional American folk songs.
Following the Seattle concert, the Northwest Boychoir will depart July 3 for Washington DC, Maryland, and North Carolina where they will present a series of public concerts including a performance as part of the prestigious Eastern Music Festival in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Under the direction of Joseph Crnko, 35-year-old Northwest Boychoir is the Pacific Northwest’s premier children’s choir. Nominated for a Grammy in 2008 for its recording with the Seattle Symphony of Samuel Jones’ The Shoe Bird, the touring Northwest Boychoir comprises the most elite singers in the organization of 200 choristers. Touring members range in age from 10 to 14, and perform regularly with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, on movie and video soundtracks, in recording studios for professional recording artists, and as part of their own year-round concert series. The Northwest Boychoir was featured on the soundtrack for the 2008 film Valkyrie, starring Tom Cruise.

I consider the [Northwest Boychoir] one of the most moving and glorious boychoirs I've ever heard, [with] their superb tone, expressiveness, and responsiveness to their marvelous director. The audience was tremendously enthusiastic . . . I would like nothing more than to have the choir return to St. Rose as often as possible.
