SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH, 2026 AT 2:00PM - CAPPELLA ROMANA TUDOR CHOIR: ENGLISH POLYPHONY
Before the Reformation, England’s cathedrals and colleges rang with some of the most glorious Catholic music ever written. Seattle’s acclaimed Tudor Choir brings that music back to life in

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5TH, 2026 AT 2:00PM - CAPPELLA ROMANA SINGS OLD SAINT NICK: Saint Nicholas in the East and West
Long before gift-giving and reindeer, there was St. Nicholas of Myra—the 4th-century bishop whose deep compassion made him one of Christianity’s most beloved saints. Patron of children, sailors, the wrongly accused, and countless others, the real St. Nicholas is celebrated throughout the world, East and West. From the medieval West, we’ll sing the remarkable isometric motet O Gemma lux by Guillaume Dufay. From the Byzantine tradition an exquisite Kalophonic (“beautiful sounding”) chant for his feast day by Manuel Chrysaphes (15th c.). We finish with Arvo Pärt’s “O Holy Saint Nicholas,” featured on Cappella Romana’s acclaimed recording Odes of Repentance, a contemporary meditation that bridges ancient tradition and modern spirituality.
