About
Seattle Pro Musica presented 23 performances of 10 different programs of music with a total estimated attendance of 20,050. Live radio performances reached 330,000 listeners, for a total combined audience of 350,050. December 2016 - Star of Wonder; Our holiday program featured music from around the world selected to evoke the winter lights of the holiday season. The program covered over a thousand years of choral music, from medieval chant to contemporary works. Centerpieces included the ethereally beautiful Stars by Eriks Esenvalds, Morten Lauridsen's O magnum mysterium, and Eric Whitacre's shimmering Lux Aurumque, as well as works by Judith Weir, John Rutter, and Gabriel Jackson. December 2016 - Christmas with Seattle Pro Musica, Family Holiday Concert; Traditional carols, holiday favorites, and an audience sing-along for children and families were featured in this one-hour concert. Our celebrity guest was storyteller and KING-FM announcer Lisa Bergman. February 2017 - Chichester Psalms; Bernstein's beloved Chichester Psalms was paired with James MacMillan's deeply moving Cantos sagrados in this concert of sacred music for choir and organ. Both works explore the theme of liberation -the desire of humankind to seek social justice and peace. Scottish composer MacMillan's riveting Cantos sagrados uses Latin American liberation theology poetry to address contemporary issues of government repression and the "disappearances" of political prisoners in Latin America. Bernstein's Chichester Psalms speaks eloquently of humanity's capacity for compassion and tolerance. May 2017 * Dona Nobis Pacem; Ralph Vaughan Williams' masterful cantata for soloists, choir, and orchestra, is one of the most important anti-war compositions of the 20th century. Written between World War I and II, Dona nobis pacem (Grant us peace) is one of Vaughan Williams' most significant works. We performed this impassioned plea for peace that blends Biblical text with the emotionally-charged anti-war poetry of Walt Whitman to create a searing indictment of the tragedy of war.
