Dear Friends,
We are excited to announce our 43rd concert season, featuring choral works from three continents. This season’s lineup includes beloved masterworks as well as music from talented contemporary composers that you won’t want to miss.
In December, join us for Comfort & Joy: An English Christmas, showcasing holiday music by Sir John Rutter, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Cecilia McDowall.
In March, experience the timeless beauty of Mozart’s Requiem. Paired with Mozart’s timeless masterpiece is Jasmine Barnes’ Epoch of Hughes, a groundbreaking new work created specifically for the Seattle Choral Company. This piece is inspired by the poetry of Langston Hughes, one of America’s most celebrated Black poets, and uses Hughes’ reflections on the four seasons as its foundation.
Our premiere represents an exciting addition to the contemporary choral repertoire, and audiences will have the rare opportunity to hear Barnes’ work brought to life for the first time. Jasmine Barnes herself will be in attendance for this historic performance, making the evening even more memorable.
Finally, in June, we present Asian Voices, introducing you to frequently performed music by contemporary Asian and Asian-American composers.
Become a member of our subscriber family and enjoy the entire season with us!
Warmest wishes,
Freddie Coleman, Founding Conductor & Artistic Director
