Founded by Doug Fullington in 1993, the Tudor Choir is a Seattle-based vocal chamber ensemble hailed as “a superb choir” (Gramophone) and “a choir to watch” (Fanfare). The choir most recently was a resident ensemble at historic Blessed Sacrament Church in Seattle’s University District from 2008 to 2015 and currently gives periodic performances. The choir has also been Artists-in-Residence at St. Mark’s Cathedral, Seattle; a Resident Ensemble at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Medina; and a Guest Choral Artist at St. James Cathedral, Seattle.

​

The Tudor Choir specializes in Renaissance polyphony and also has been acclaimed for its performances of early American and contemporary music. The choir has performed extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest, including concert appearances in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Portland, Oregon, and has made guest appearances with the Mark Morris Dance Group, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Seattle Baroque Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, and Early Music Guild of Seattle. The choir made its East Coast debut in December 2012, performing at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and in Pennsylvania. The Tudor Choir has made a number of recordings for the Loft, Gothic, and Scribe labels.

The Tudor Choir also has cultivated relationships with a number of world-renowned conductors and especially with Peter Phillips, director of the Tallis Scholars. Mr. Phillips has conducted the choir in a number of concerts, including joint performances with members of the Tallis Scholars each year at the Tallis Scholars Summer School USA in Seattle since its inception in 2005. The choir also has sung under the direction of Stephen Cleobury (King's College, Cambridge), Martin Haselböck (Vienna), Paul Hillier (Hilliard Ensemble, Theatre of Voices), and Andrew Parrott (Taverner Choir).
