Seattle Pro Musica believes in the power of voices joined in harmony to enrich the lives of their audiences, their singers, and the community at large. SPM also believes in making the beauty of choral music available to as many people as possible.

Throughout their 52-year history, SPM has been recognized for the caliber of their programming and performances. They’ve received the Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence and the ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming, and they were ranked as “among America’s very best choirs” by American Record Guide. Under the baton of Artistic Director and Conductor Karen P. Thomas, they’ve received international acclaim for their CD recordings and live performances. Choir and Organ writes, “Seattle Pro Musica presents a cappella singing at its best,” and Fanfare Record says, “This is truly an extraordinary choir.” SPM has also appeared by invitation at numerous international and national festivals, and they’ve been fortunate enough to perform with artists like Jane Eaglen, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Pacific MusicWorks, and Seattle Symphony. Most importantly, Seattle Pro Musica is beloved by a community of listeners and supporters who make everything they do possible.

Karen P. Thomas, Artistic Director and Conductor of Seattle Pro Musica, has conducted at international festivals in Europe and North America, including the Berkshire Choral International and the Bergen International Festival. With Seattle Pro Musica, she received the Margaret Hillis Award from Chorus America, and the ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming. She has received awards from the NEA, American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and ASCAP, among others. For her leadership in multiple areas, including making choral ensembles welcoming spaces for transgender and nonbinary singers, she received the 2018 Seattle Mayor’s Arts Award. Named the Washington State “Outstanding Choral Director,” she has been recognized for her “charismatic...magnetic podium presence” and “sweeping vision.”

An award-winning composer, her music has been praised as “superb work of the utmost sensitivity and beauty.” Her music is regularly performed internationally by groups such as The Hilliard Ensemble, The Vocal Consort of Brussels, NOTUS, and Cathedra of the Washington National Cathedral. Among her numerous commissions are works for the Harvard/Radcliffe Choirs, the Grand Jubilee in Rome, the American Choral Directors Association, and the American Guild of Organists. She currently serves on the board of Chorus America, having previously served on the board of the American Choral Directors Association and on the Seattle Music Commission.
