The History of the Kulshan Chorus

In true community fashion, the concept of Kulshan Chorus was conceived in Flip Breskin's living room during a song circle in 1987. The chorus was initially led by founding director, Roger Griffith and accompanied by Karen Fitzgerald. Roger retired in 2013 and the chorus is currently led by Artistic Director Dustin Willetts.

The powerful and colorful Kulshan Chorus of Bellingham, Washington is an intergenerational, secular and multicultural choir singing in honor of human diversity. The chorus has sung and celebrated for three decades. Drawing on music from America's vast cultural roots, musical selections include a range of styles and origins. Repertoire spans American folk classics to world music; well-known choral works to new premiers.  This eclectic mix brings an awareness and celebration of the world's cultures to both the community of singers and our wider community of audiences.
