Sanctuary in the City: Heinrich Biber – The Sorrowful Mysteries
Free
Tekla Cunningham, baroque violin
Violinist Tekla Cunningham and members of the Pacific MusicWorks House Band perform Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s Sorrowful Mystery Sonatas (ca. 1676), a set of powerfully moving pieces written to depict the events of Christ’s Passion through extraordinary use of violin techniques and alternative tunings.
Pacific MusicWorks and Christ Our Hope at the Josephinum present Sanctuary in the City, their second season of free lunchtime concerts at the crossroads of Downtown and Belltown, aimed at fostering a spirit of contemplation and respite in the midst of our busy and stressful lives. Join them for a 45-minute concert featuring some of the region’s finest musicians performing baroque to modern works, including many works by underrepresented composers.
After the concert, join the musicians and fellow music-lovers next door at Moore Coffee for sandwiches, treats, and more!
