New Artistic Director Paul Caldwell Conducts First Seattle Concert: Seattle Women's Chorus UNVEILED
New artistic director Paul Caldwell makes his highly anticipated debut leading Seattle Women's Chorus (SWC) into a new era. This is SWC's fifth consecutive year performing inside the historic Saint Mark's Cathedral where the majestic pillars will reverberate with dynamic sounds and bold spirits.
The first concert of the 2016-2017 season includes works composed by Paul Caldwell and his writing partner Sean Ivory; it explores our universal need to be seen and heard for who we really are. Alluring choral harmonies influenced by Brazil and Ireland are juxtaposed against pop anthems by Christina Aguilera and Cher as well as pieces from popular Broadway shows like Company and The Wiz. "Til it Happens to You" by Lady Gaga is a powerful response to sexual violence that was memorably performed at the 2016 Oscars; SWC will share their rendition in Act 2.
This program is appropriate for all ages and SWC hosts a special Family Performance at 2pm on October 29; tickets are just $15 for children age 12 and under.
Tickets to the Seattle performances are $25-$48 and available at SeattleChoruses.org or via the phone at (206) 388-1400. The Seattle area box office is open Monday through Friday, 11AM - 6PM.
