Eternal Light: A Composition for Tacoma @ Symphony Tacoma Youtube Page
Tickets
Feb 6 @ 7:30 pm

Eternal Light is a “musical collage” of original works by local students inspired by Lux Aeterna, a movement in Mozart’s Requiem that expresses words of comfort and hope. It will premiere on Symphony Tacoma’s YouTube channel at 7:30 pm on Saturday, February 6, 2021. Preceding the premiere will be a Facebook Live conversation with the creative team facilitated by Symphony Tacoma Music Director Sarah Ioannides at 6:30 pm.

Over the summer, thirteen local students ranging in age from 10 to 17 accepted Symphony Tacoma’s invitation to create original music, lyrics, drawings and poetry that reflected their interpretation of “eternal light.” Maestra Sarah Ioannides, the project’s producer, has taken these submissions and weaved them into a new audio and visual composition to be performed and recorded by the youth who submitted as well as participants from Tacoma Youth Chorus, University Place Presbyterian Church’s Alleluia Singers (children’s choir) and Symphony Tacoma musicians.

“We hope this special project will bring joy to the hearts of many during these difficult times,” says Ioannides.

Organ at Noon Series: The 30th Annual Bethel Schneebeck Organ Recital @ Kilworth Memorial Chapel Broadcast online via Schneebeck LIVE
Tickets
Feb 21 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Join us as American concert organist Wyatt Smith performs music by Florence Price, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Dietrich Bustehude, and more, streaming live from Kilworth Memorial Chapel. Mrs. Bethel Schneebeck and her late husband Edwin Schneebeck generously supported the University of Puget Sound for decades. In recognition of the family’s ongoing commitment to Puget Sound, in 2002 the university named its main music performance venue in honor of the Schneebecks, who also were major contributors to the construction of the Fritts organ in Kilworth Chapel, dedicated in 1989. Mrs. Schneebeck is the mother and grandmother of Puget Sound graduates, and in 1982 she was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Arts degree.
