Opus 7 Vocal Ensemble performs

"Opus 7, one of the most esteemed musical groups anywhere" - Richard Campbell, The Gathering Note, December 2009

Don't miss the return of a popular Holiday tradition - St. James Cathedral Resident Ensemble Opus 7 presents the brilliantly entertaining and moving cantata, Saint Nicolas by Benjamin Britten, with tenor Howard Fankhauser singing the title role. We are joined by St. James Cathedral's youth choir Schola Cantorum, the young women's choir Jubilate!, both directed by Stacey Sunde, along with the Cathedral Chamber Orchestra and organists Joseph Adam and Clint Kraus.

Also on the program will be music for the holiday season by Arvo Pärt, John Tavener, Zoltán Kodály, Eric Whitacre, Lloyd Pfautsch and Steve Martland.

Opus 7 was formed by Loren Ponten in 1992 and features some of the Northwest's finest choral artists. The group is known for its glorious sound, ardent musicality, and innovative programming of late 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century choral repertoire.
