The Office of Compline presented by the Women’s Compline Choir
2025 WOMEN’S COMPLINE CHOIR SERVICES: JUNE 29 AND AUGUST 24
SUNDAY, 9:30 P.M. in the cathedral nave, livestreamed, and broadcast
A beloved Seattle institution since 1956, the all-male Compline Choir sings the last monastic office of the day every Sunday at 9:30 p.m.
In the summer of 2019, the men of the Compline Choir traveled to the U.K. for two weeks, serving residencies in Canterbury and Salisbury. To cover the services during absence, Saint Mark’s Associate Musician Rebekah Gilmore was asked to assemble an all-female choir, comprising some of the most accomplished choral singers in the Seattle area. The services they sang, the first all-female services in the 63-year history of Compline at Saint Mark’s, were deeply moving to many, and may be heard here.
The Women’s Compline Choir now gathers to chant the service several times each year, usually in the summer. The next services are planned for June 29 and August 24, 2025
The service is broadcast live each week on KING 98.1 FM, or streaming at king.org.
The service is livestreamed on the cathedral’s livestream page, or on complinechoir.org, or on Facebook: facebook.com/SaintMarksSeattle or facebook.com/complinechoir or on YouTube: youtube.com/c/SaintMarksEpiscopalCathedralSeattle
Video of recent services may be seen on the Compline page.
The service is also available as a podcast. To hear each week’s service on-demand, search for “Saint Mark’s Compline” wherever you get you podcasts, or visit complinepodcast.org.
