"Eternal Light" Masterworks Concert w/Rainier Chorale
Kent United Methodist Church, 11010 SE 248th Street, Kent, WA
You will not want to miss Rainier Chorale’s annual Masterworks concert, featuring the Consonare chorus of Rainier Youth Choirs. The program will include an 18-piece orchestra and will focus on newer works, including pieces from some of the contemporary choral world’s most inspiring young composers such as John Michael Trotta, Elaine Hagenberg, and Dan Forrest.
The centerpiece of the concert will be a performance of Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna. This five-movement work centers around the theme of light and uses sacred Latin texts for its inspiration. The piece has become a staple of the contemporary choral canon since it was first performed in 1997.
The Rainier Chorale is pleased to collaborate with Rainier Youth Choirs’ Consonare chorus, under the direction of Brian Hoskins, for these performances. Since they were founded in 2007 by Rainier Chorale and Leora Schwitters, Rainier Youth Choirs has helped young performers throughout King County develop personally, socially, and musically.

Tickets for the performance are likely to sell out due to the limited capacity of the performance space and the popularity of the program. We encourage you to purchase your tickets as soon as possible.
