Fire - Music of Passion (February 2, 9, and 10, 2013, Richmond Beach Congregational, Mercer Island Presbyterian, and Trinity Lutheran)Just in time for Valentine's Day, get swept away with songs of passion, yearning and love in Fire, Seattle Pro Musica's upcoming series of outreach concerts. The performance features Morten Lauridsen's Fire Madrigals, set to Italian Renaissance poetry steeped in unrequited love. Also featured are selections from Joshua Shank's seductive and flirtatious Color Madrigals, the languid tenderness of Jonathan Miller’s Let him kiss me, and sweet, poignant love songs by Samuel Barber, Dale Warland, and Eric Whitacre.Plus, you won't want to miss the world premiere of Wild Nights by Karen P. Thomas, Seattle Pro Musica's own Artistic Director and Conductor. The piece is set to a posthumously-published Emily Dickinson poem, unique in its tone of unrestrained passion. 2012-2013 Season Subscription - Enjoy all three concerts!

The evocative Five Flower Songs of Benjamin Britten provide a contemporary contrast to romantic songs of nature by Brahms and Mendelssohn. On March 10, Seattle Pro Musica welcomes the Bellevue Girlchoir as part of our Education & Outreach Program.Lucis - Music of Light (May 18 & 19, 2013, St. James Cathedral)Immerse yourself in the sound of contemporary classics – 20th and 21st century works written for a reverberant cathedral acoustic, and expressing humanity’s connection to the divine and to each other.
