Timeless music for Seattle

Music often does what words cannot. It stirs emotions and challenges us to think differently about our world. Concerts give us the opportunity to experience music together, in a common space and context, in a way that maybe even builds community. 

Our concert series is brought to you by Music at Epiphany, the music ministry of Epiphany Seattle. Its mission is to deliver excellence in sacred music to enhance the well-being of every person it touches. We offer a series of world class concerts that take place in the excellent acoustic spaces of our church. Click on the tabs below for further information. We hope that you will join us and experience great music in community with others.

Requiem: Duruflé & Howells

Sarah Larkworthy, mezzo-soprano
Charles Robert Stephens, baritone

The Epiphany Choir will join with Seattle Symphony organist Joseph Adam to present two contrasting requiem settings. Perhaps one of the most beautiful settings of the requiem text, Maurice Duruflé’s setting features sweeping and emotive writing for choir and orchestra and a virtuosic organ part. In contrast, Howells’ setting is not strictly taken from the official requiem text, but is his own compilation of texts for unaccompanied choir, known for its haunting lines and lush harmonies. The concert will also include Josef Rheinberger’s rarely-performed yet stunning Organ Concerto No. 2, which is always a crowd pleaser. Acclaimed local baritone Charles Robert Stephens and mezzo- soprano Sarah Larkworthy will be soloists.

Featuring G.F. Handel’s Birthday Ode for Queen Anne and Henry Purcell’s Birthday Ode for Queen Mary (Come, ye sons of art), this concert will satisfy whatever wish you have. Splashy and celebratory choruses? Present. Lighthearted Duets? Present. Stunningly beautiful solo lines? Present. So beautiful, in fact, that the first movement of Handel’s ode, Eternal Source of Light Divine, has been sung at numerous royal occasions, including most recently at the wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The evening will be rounded out with Correlli’s much-beloved Concerto Grosso No. 8 in g minor. Danielle Reutter-Harrah, soprano; Jay Carter, countertenor; José Luis Muñoz, countertenor.
