Join us in Olympia for our highly anticipated annual appearance on the St. John's Episcopal Concert Series! Northern Lights showcases music that evokes the shimmering beauty of the aurora borealis, spanning a thousand years of Baltic and Nordic choral music, from medieval chant to contemporary works by Mäntyjärvi, Kreek, and Tormis. The centerpiece is Northern Lights by Ēriks Ešenvalds, one of today’s most sought-after young composers. With voices, chimes, and tuned water goblets, Ešenvalds recreates the wonder of the northern lights in sound.
