The Cathedral Choir (Joseph Adam, director), Jubilate Young Women’s Ensemble (Stacey Sunde, director) and a large group of St. James pilgrims travel to Florence, Siena, Assisi, and Rome for ten days of concerts, Masses, and exploration of holy sites. Along the way, the choirs will sing works by composers associated with these churches. The choirs will also perform works from their standard repertoires and offer Italian audiences a flavor of the music-making in Seattle. Join us for this send-off concert that includes Maurice Duruflé’s transcendent Requiem for choir and organ (Clint Kraus, organist).
Your suggested donation of $18 will help to offset the expenses of choir members participating in the pilgrimage. Advance passes available online or you may donate at the door. Doors open at 7:30pm.
