Humanis Sing for Peace (pronounced hju ˈmæ nəs) is a small, primarily a cappella ensemble of about 18 singers comprised of soloists and music professionals from the Pacific Northwest. Our repertoire spans centuries and genres—from early music to contemporary works. Frequently performed composers include Tavener, Poulenc, Stanford, Ticheli, Rheinberger, Byrd, and local artists like Joan Szymko and Humanis member David Foley. We also perform arrangements of folk, traditional, and popular songs.

We have performed regularly at The Grotto’s Christmas Festival of Lights, partnered with Cascadia Composers, and participated in Earth Day celebrations. We’ve hosted benefit concerts supporting causes such as immigration justice, refugee support, environmental activism, and homelessness, raising funds and awareness for nonprofits like IRCO, Family Promise, and IMIrJ. Our outreach also includes performances in schools, retirement communities, and studio recordings of new works by local composers.
