Rescheduled CARTER & MESSIÆN Centennial Concert


As many of you know, The Esoterics was forced to cancel a scheduled CARTER & MESSIÆN Centennial concert on Sunday, December 14th in West Seattle due to inclement weather. The group is pleased to present a rescheduled concert with the same repertoire on Sunday, January 18th at Queen Anne Christian Church in Seattle.

Born only a day apart nearly a century ago (10 and 11 December 1908), composers Elliott Carter and Olivier Messiæn have each made their mark as composers of vastly distinctive musical styles. In this centennial celebration, The Esoterics will perform seven works - five by Carter and two by Messiæn - the entire a cappella output from both of these composers.

Please join The Esoterics to celebrate and compare the genius of these composers at the centenary of their birth.

The Esoterics' CARTER & MESSIÆN Centennial performance dates and locations are as follows:

Sunday • 18 January • 8 pm • Seattle
Queen Anne Christian Church • 1316 3rd Avenue W

Tickets are $20 at the door, $18 in advance online, $15 for students, seniors, the un(der)employed, and the differently-abled. Discounts are available for groups of five or more at $12 per person. Active singers of any choral group may attend for only $10. Advance tickets are available online at www.TheEsoterics.org (through PayPal.com).
