Join St. James Cathedral Resident Ensemble Opus 7, directed by Loren Pontén, for a stunning concert of dramatic choral music for the Lenten Season.
This critically-acclaimed group is known for its glorious sound, ardent musicality, and innovative programming of late 19th– through 21st-century repertoire. A featured work for this concert will be “Phoenix” by the renown Seattle composer Peter Hallock. This evocative setting for choir, cello and harp is from an ancient Christian poem which references several Psalms depicting images of restoration and rebirth. Other striking music for Lent by Mendelssohn, Homilius, Pizzetti, Koszewski and Penderecki.
