Artists-in-Residence
Sacred Music Choral
Founded in 1999, the
Sacred Music Chorale's mission is to provide singers the opportunity to sing the great music of the Christian Church, and to give the gift of that music to their listeners. In so doing, the Chorale seeks to honor Jesus Christ: friend, Savior, and Lord. The Chorale consists of members from all over the Puget Sound region. They present concerts twice yearly in the Seattle area, before Christmas and in the early spring.
The Byrd Ensemble
The
Byrd Ensemble, described as "Seattle's own masters of ancient polyphony" (
Seattle Times), is a vocal ensemble specializing in the performance of Renaissance vocal music and modern music in the Cathedral style. The ensemble of eight to ten singers has been performing programs of medieval, renaissance, baroque, and modern music in the greater Seattle area since 2003. The group's creative efforts are led by Markdavin Obenza.
Mirinesse Women's Choir
Since 2006,
Mirinesse has thrilled audiences with its beautiful sound and facility with difficult repertoire. Through uplifting and engaging performances, Mirinesse introduces audience members to a diverse repertoire and innovative musical techniques. The conductors and singers of Mirinesse strive to create an environment that enlivens the role of women's choral music in our society, refreshing the spirits and capturing the imaginations of singers and audiences alike. Mirinesse is directed by Rebecca Rottschalk and Beth Ann Bonnecroy.
The Trinity Consort
Trinity musicians Jo Baim and Marilyn McAdoo join with Seattle Early Music specialists Molly Seibert, Tomo Morita, Larry Stark, Peggy Monroe, and Gus Denhard to form a mixed ensemble of voices, recorders, percussion, and keyboard. The Consort members bring favorite pieces to share with their audience, with a special talent for combining pieces into unusual and engaging concert themes.
More Arts Partnerships
Early Music Guild
The
Early Music Guild advances appreciation for music from the Middle Ages through the 18th century by providing performances, support, and education. EMG partners with Trinity for the First Tuesday series, which teams local professional artists with young artists new to Seattle for a wide variety of concerts. We also partner for the EMG Collegium series, in which amateur and semi-professional musicians can study, rehearse, and perform Renaissance and Baroque music. Collegium groups include the Sine Nomine and Ave choirs and the New Baroque Orchestra.
Theatre9/12
Created after the shock of 9/11,
Theatre9/12 chooses plays that challenge audiences. Company members perform contemporary, classic, musical, international, and original plays, interpreting them for their universality and social, political, and/or psychological relevancy. Artistic Director Charles Waxberg describes Theatre9/12 as "theatre for the world we live in today."
