The Tenebrae Choir has arrived in Seattle!!! We're so excited for their concert tomorrow night, Tuesday, March 10 at 7:30pm here at St. James Cathedral, Seattle, where they will perform Joby Talbot's "Path of Miracles," which Gramophone Magazine describes as having an "… epic, mystical quality – charged with the same sacred energy that draws listeners to the music of John Tavener and Arvo Pärt." Tickets are still available online for this musical odyssey along the Camino de Santiago – https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/tenebrae-choir-path-of-miracles – or get tickets at the south entrance box office (opens at 7:00pm).

In this video, organist Jan Kraybill plays an excerpt from Charles-Marie Widor's Intermezzo from Symphony No. 6 for Organ, part of her concert program this Friday, Feb. 27 at 7:30pm at St. James Cathedral, Seattle. The pipe organ is unique in many ways, but one of the most surprising to people unfamiliar with organ music is the requirement to play melodies with the feet just as aptly as with the hands. This concert, sure to delight, features music that lets the feet dance! More info on our website at https://www.stjames-cathedral.org/music/concerts/2026-02-27-Jan-Kraybill.aspx.
