Opus 7 welcomes the holiday season with a stunning program of choral music for Advent and Christmas. Celebrate the Joy and Mystery of the season and enjoy moments of quiet reflection and soaring grandeur–all shimmering in the heavenly acoustics of St. James Cathedral. This program includes Pierre Villette's Hymne á la Vierge, Ola Gjeilo's Serenity, and a rich selection of music by Pacific Northwest composers, including Morten Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium, Jessica French's Fix Your Eyes Upon the Star, and John Muehleisen's Invocation. As we close out this year, may the beauty of these choral works bring you a sense of peace and hope.
