March 2013 - Event Calendar Highlights - All

See the current issue of This Week for program information and meeting rooms.

Seattle Jazz Vespers is a monthly professional concert featuring the best jazz and blues performers in Seattle in one of the most acoustically resonant venues in the metro area. The performers play and sing their best music, their favorite numbers. They have the treat of performing to an appreciative, diverse audience where they are not competing with food and conversation. In this great concert setting, audiences truly get to know the performers and enjoy their artistry “up close.” After the concert, join us for light refreshments and a chance to meet the performers.

Seattle Jazz Vespers is sponsored by the historic Seattle First Baptist Church. An free-will offering will be taken to support the musicians.

There are no tickets, no entry costs, no reservations necessary. It’s just 100 minutes of Seattle's best jazz and blues with an inspirational interlude. Now, in its eleventh season, SJV is held the first Sunday of the month October through June. There is lighted adjacent parking at the church.

The Seattle Jazz Vespers is designed for the general public, family friendly and persons of all faiths.

THE PASSION
Choral Masterworks with Orchestra

Join the 50 singers of The Sanctuary Choir and chamber orchestra for an evening of choral masterworks in THE PASSION, a sacred concert on Good Friday on March 29th at 7:30 p.m.

The drama inherent in the story of Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, trial, and death begs for musical setting. Unlike many passion settings by a single composer, THE PASSION incorporates some of the greatest choral motets from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and modern eras. Music alternates with readings and the sanctuary grows increasingly dark as the crucifixion grows closer.

Selections include J.S. Bach’s Crucifixus from Mass in B Minor, Handel’s He Trusted in God from Messiah, Mendelssohn’s Jerusalem from St. Paul and motets by Brahms, Vivaldi, Croce, Poulenc, Carissmi and Maunder.

The concert is free; no tickets are required.
