SCC in the Schools
Seattle Children’s Chorus is thrilled to be working with young singers and music educators at Seattle Public Schools again this season. Now in its second year, SCC in the Schools is supporting choirs and providing accompanists for four schools:
Bailey Gatzert Elementary School
John Muir Elementary School
Kimball Elementary School
Washington Middle School
Four amazing choir directors - Mikey Prince, KT Raschko, Joseph To, and Becca Woodbury - will rehearse weekly after school with their students for performances throughout the year, both with Brio and Intermezzo, and individually at their schools. First up, Kimball Elementary will join Brio, Intermezzo, and Thalia Orchestra for a holiday concert at Town Hall on December 6. Please see our calendar for more details!

KT Raschko is the General Music Specialist at Kimball Elementary School on Beacon Hill in Seattle. As part of the rich choral community in Seattle, KT's chorus students have sung at events and venues around the city, from the University of Washington to the Seattle Center Armory. KT is a firm believer that everyone can sing, and that philosophy is reflected in the inclusive and supportive community fostered in their chorus. KT attended Lawrence University, earning a Bachelor of Music in Music Education, and received a Master’s in Teaching degree in Early Childhood Special Education from the University of Washington. A Pacific Northwest native, KT sang for twelve years in the Northwest Girlchoir. As an adult, she has been part of Mirinesse Women’s Choir under Beth Ann Bonnecroy and Rebecca Rottsolk, as well as Seattle Women's Chorus under Dennis Coleman. KT lives with her wife Sarah and daughters Frances and Tillie in south Seattle.
