THE ESOTERICS
Seattle's most innovative chorus will offer five exquisite programs over the course of 2011. This repertoire will juxtapose the ancient sounds of plainsong, the drama of Gesualdo, the romanticism of Strauss, the minimalism of P'rt, and the wit of Menotti, as well as world premiere commissions by several composers around the country and world.
