Our Story
Master Chorus Eastside, formerly known as the Issaquah Chorale, began its journey in 1991 as a small, non-auditioned ensemble. Over the years, it has evolved into a polished, fully auditioned chorus, recognized as one of the premier arts organizations east of Seattle. MCE is celebrated for its innovative programming, which includes family-style celebrations, large choral/orchestral works, a cappella repertoire, and explorations of multicultural music. Under the direction of Dr. Linda Gingrich, MCE performs throughout the Eastside and the greater Seattle region, bringing joy and inspiration to audiences.
