St, Mark's Cathedral
1245 Tenth Ave E, Seattle
Choir of the Sound presents a very special concert designed to showcase the ethereal acoustics of St. Mark’s Cathedral, as well as its magnificent Flentrop organ. The choir will perform beautiful pieces especially well-suited to cathedral spaces, including Giovanni Gabrieli’s Gloria and Samuel Barber’s Agnus Dei,, and will celebrate Benjamin Britten’s 100th birthday with some of his greatest works, including Festival Te Deum and Hymn to St. Cecilia. Please join us for a moving and inspiring performance.
The experience of singing in a cathedral is unlike any other, because the acoustic properties of a cathedral's interior are unique. These unusual properties are created by the size, shape and materials used in cathedral design.
For a singer, the challenges of performing in cathedral are many, but the rewards are great - hearing one's own voice magnified and enriched can be heady. For the audience - don't just try to imagine it. Come and hear what music can become in a sacred space.
