Established in 1989, Four Seasons has been bringing choral music through the ages, from China and Taiwan as well as other parts of the world, to the Pacific Northwest. In 2002 the group re-organized to include only women’s voices. Membership is open to musically inclined speakers of Mandarin Chinese. Participants survey music in a friendly environment and produce concerts or perform in festivals and community events.

Born to a pastor’s family in Taiwan, Rebecca found musical exposure the most natural and blessed part of growing up. Inspired by her renowned masters in university years including soloist Hsin Yongshiu, conductor Du Hei and pianist Dr. Regina Yeh in the U.S.A., she applies her special understanding in directing congregational and secular choirs and in teaching. Today, Mrs. Wu thanks her family for their continuous understanding and support, so she can “praise God” and “benefit humanity” through music, and also to pursue her dream of “rising to a higher level”. Rebecca conducted Rong-Rong Choir for more than 10 years since 2001. She also conducted Seattle Taiwanese’s Church choirs and Four Seasons Chorus. She is currently engaged in teaching piano and serves as the conductor of Bellevue Taiwanese Christian Church Choir and Living Streams Chorus. Rebecca was the conductor of Four Seasons Chorus in 1999-2006. To the greatest delight and honor of Four Seasons members, Rebecca returned in 2018 to lead us again.
