The Kalevala Day tradition goes back to 1835, when the national epic of Finland, the Kalevala, was published for the first time by Elias Lönnrot.

* Armas Järnefelt (1869, Vyborg– 1958, Stockholm) and
* Toivo Kuula (1883, Vaasa - 1918, Vyborg)

The Seattle Choral Company, led by their founding director, Freddie Coleman, concludes their 37th season with “Cantata Fest”—a concert of choral cantatas spanning three centuries.

Saturday, June 1, 2019 – at 8:00 p.m. with pre-concert talk at 7:00 p.m.

Seattle First Baptist Church, 1111 Harvard Avenue, Seattle

The program will include three works for choir and string orchestra:
“Cantata No. 4, Christ lag in Todesbanden" by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
“Cantata, Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten" by Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
“Triptych Cantata" by Tarik O’Regan (b. 1978)

The concert will feature members of the North Corner Chamber Orchestra, led by Victoria Parker, soprano soloist Rebekah Gilmore, and organist Wyatt Smith.

A cantata is usually a vocal composition with instrumental accompaniment in multiple movements. It is often based on a poem or gospel text of which each verse is separately set to music. One movement can be a chorale, the next a recitative, the next an aria or duet.

Canto General, composed by famed Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis, setting the poetry of Nobel Prize laureate Pablo Neruda, is a powerful choral masterpiece, accompanied by three flutes, classical guitars, double bass, two pianos, and a vast array of exotic percussion instruments. This epic piece features contralto and baritone soloists. Neruda wrote his epic poem in 1939, broadening an earlier work to become a hymn to all of South America.

Last July we had the amazing opportunity to visit and perform in Ireland while on tour, and now we're excited to share her evocative music with you! You'll hear stunning arrangements of “Danny Boy” and “Wild Mountain Thyme.” You’ll move in rhythm to joyful, rollicking jigs and reels, and enjoy stirring selections from Ireland’s famed groups, Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder. And of course, the evening would not be complete without a good ol’ Irish pub sing-along!

Grateful for Life!
As Seattle Children’s Chorus concludes this 30th Anniversary Year , we will gather at Benaroya to celebrate in song the beautiful accomplishments of an organization that has been blessed by young lives for 30 years. The concert will celebrate life! The wonder of life all around us, the beauty of helping young lives grow, the powerful impact of music to form and shape healthy young lives and the beauty and joy and rhythm of life expressed through choral music! New commissions

We celebrate the multifaceted nature of joy, including the exuberance of William Walton's "The Twelve", the sober devotion of Kevin Siegfried's "Shaker Songs", and the rich variety within Bach's "Jesu, meine Freude". As an added bonus, you'll hear three works by our Composer-in-Residence, the eponymous Joy DeCoursey-Porter.

Music by Josquin Desprez, J. S. Bach, and others.

The final MainStage performance of the year
Featuring choristers from all BYC choirs

The 2018-2019 season was full of exciting changes for Bellevue Youth Choirs. The biggest change of all was merging Bellevue Boychoir and Bellevue Girlchoir fully under the umbrella of Bellevue Youth Choirs. To celebrate this marriage-like merger, the Bellevue Youth Choir choristers have prepared a variety of joyful songs, some of which are *old* from our choral library and some of which are *new* to the BYC choral library, including a brand-new piece written in January of 2019. BYC rounds out the old marriage saying by featuring a few pieces that are *borrowed* from friends of the choir and there is even a song or two with a tint of *blue*.

We hope that you will come celebrate this transformation with Bellevue Youth Choirs on June 1, 2019, 3:00pm at Bellevue Presbyterian Church.

It happens that one of the earliest and largest written sources of polyphonic music—music for multiple voices—is wholly dedicated to the Feast of St. James as it was celebrated at his great pilgrimage shrine, the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The Codex Calixtinus was an international effort, but it has been housed in Santiago since the 12th century. The choir and soloists are pleased to bring this music from the Saint’s cathedral in Spain to his Cathedral in Seattle.

Woodstock. The moon landing. Vietnam. Stonewall. In the summer of 1969, current events churned into a psychedelic era of rebellion and change. SMC transports us back to this vibrant year through the chart-topping, culture-defining music that blared through turntables and transistor radios. Joining with a coalition of LGBTQ choruses across the country, we also present a thrilling new musical theater work that tells the stories of the Stonewall riots and the struggle to live life out loud.
