Master Chorus Eastside to Celebrate Fourth of July With Issaquah Event in June

Master Chorus Eastside celebrates the 4th of July once again with its very popular All-American Independence Celebration in Issaquah’s historic Pickering Barn.

American music of all styles, from early Americana to frontier music to gospel, and delightful sing alongs stand side-by-side with Linda Gingrich’s signature commentary.

“We’ve been doing this concert every year since 1999,” said Gingrich, MCE’s artistic director and conductor. “It just keeps growing in popularity. We tried several different venues in the early years, but Pickering Barn is the perfect place for a down-home celebration like this.”
