*Choral Arts Northwest presents—This Sacred Earth: Reverberations of Land and Place

SUNDAY, MARCH 16, 3 P.M., in the Saint Mark’s Cathedral nave

Pre-concert talk at 2:30 p.m. with Chiyo Crawford, Executive Director of ECOSS.org

Inspired by nature’s splendor, Choral Arts NW presents Alex Berko’s Grammy-nominated Sacred Place, featuring poetry by Wendell Berry, John Muir, and William Stafford. Stafford’s verse reminds us we belong to the earth: “Have a place, be what that place requires.” Joined by piano, cello, and violin, this program invites us to “listen to the land” through expansive soundscapes and tone poems, and includes works by Indigenous composers Sherryl Sewepagaham and Alex Vollant which amplify reverence for land and place. Surround yourself with beauty as Choral Arts NW sings of the ancient-and-ever-present majesty of This Sacred Earth.
