For their eighth annual Cathedral Christmas concert at Seattle's Saint Mark's Cathedral, the Seattle Choral Company presents "Peace On Earth," and invites listeners to experience through music the realm of inner peace at Christmastime.
The concert will feature choir and string orchestra throughout the evening in such works as the poignant and powerful setting of "Dona nobis pacem" (Give us peace) by the Latvian composer Peteris Vasks, along with the Estonian Arvo Pärt's beautiful meditation, "Da pacem, Domine" (Give peace, Lord), and "In Terra Pax" (On Earth Peace) by the English composer Gerald Finzi.
A candlelight finale closes this annual cathedral concert.
Pre-concert talk will be given by SCC director Freddie Coleman at 7:00 p.m. At 7:30 p.m. there will be a traditional carol sing-along with the Flentrop organ with cathedral organist Michael Kleinschmidt. Guest artists for "Peace On Earth" will include Jennifer Bromagen, soprano; Charles Robert Stephens, baritone; and Bethany Man, harp.
