Seattle Pro Musica – Ethel Smyth & W. A. Mozart
Karen P. Thomas, Artistic Director


British composer Ethel Smyth's Mass in D for choir, orchestra, and soloists is a monumental achievement. Written in the mid-19th century, it was dismissed by critics who deemed women composers unequal to their male counterparts. Seattle Pro Musica hails this stunning and seldom-heard piece as more than equal.

Seattle Pro Musica pairs this groundbreaking work with Mozart's beloved "Great" Mass in C minor for one performance only in the magnificent acoustic of St. James Cathedral.

With soloists Tess Altiveros, soprano; Miriam Gnagy, soprano; Dawn Padula, mezzo; Zach Finkelstein, tenor; Charles Robert Stephens, bass.

Tickets ($0-$38), are available at this link.

St. James Cathedral parishioners may request a pay-what-you-can parishioner pass from the music office or stop by the Columbia Street parish office reception desk Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm.

The Cathedral will close after the 5:30pm Mass, and doors will open for the concert at 7:30pm.

COVID Guidelines
Proof of vaccination is no longer required for Cathedral events. The CDC and King County Public Health continue to strongly recommend you wear a mask at large indoor events. While not required, we encourage all concert attendees to wear masks while community spread continues. We ask that all audience members be respectful of each other's choices. This policy is subject to change based on Archdiocesan, King County, and Washington State COVID guidelines and regulations.
