Judy Filibeck took up the COTS director baton in 2003, and since then has increasingly challenged the choir to work at a high musical level, focusing on blend, precision, and demanding literature. At the same time, the choir continues to convey a genuine and infectioussense of fun to its audiences. These developments have been enthusiastically received (read reviews of our Classical and Pops concerts from the Shoreline Enterprise)!
In November 2005, COTS singers joined four other choirs and two New York City soloists at world-renowned Carnegie Hall in a performance of Vivaldi’s Gloria under the direction of conductor Jonathan Griffiths, accompanied by the New England Symphonic Ensemble. In the summer of 2007, COTS singers toured Italy, performing in Florence, Venice, and Verona.
COTS sings at many other community venues, including sporting events such as Seattle Mariners, Seattle Sounders, Seattle Thunderbirds, and Everett Aquasox games, and aboard Argosy Christmas Ship cruises. The choir is also available for private parties. See photos from a recent Holiday party.
