2023 Advent and Christmas at Saint Mark's
The complete schedule of cathedral events, offerings, and liturgies for Advent and Christmas is now available! Advent-themed offerings begin even before Advent, with the first installment of the Wednesday evening series on Isaiah beginning November 29. December 3 is the first Sunday of Advent, with the Alternative Gift Market and the beloved "O" Antiphons liturgy. Other Advent highlights include:
Note that 2023 is a special year when December 24 falls on a Sunday. When this happens (once every 5–11 years) December 24 is both the Fourth Sunday of Advent and Christmas Eve. The cathedral will offer its usual Sunday morning services at 8, 9, and 11 a.m., and then its usual Christmas Eve services at 4, 7:30, and 11 p.m. that evening. Come early (at 3:45, 7:10, or 10:30 p.m.) for the musical prelude and carol sing! The 7 p.m. Contemplative Eucharist and 9:30 p.m. Compline are suspended on the 24th. (This is the only situation when Compline at Saint Mark's is cancelled on a Sunday—Classical KING will broadcast an archive recording at 9:30 p.m.)
The schedule of events also includes offering in Christmastide, through Twelfth Night and the Feast of the Epiphany, including the popular New Year's Eve Labyrinth Walk. As December 31 also falls on a Sunday, this year the Office of Compline will be chanted at 9:30 during the Labyrinth walk event.
Check out the complete schedule here, and stay tuned for more details about many of these offering as they approach!

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2023, 7 P.M., in the cathedral nave and livestreamed
Saint Mark's offers The "O" Antiphons Advent Procession with Lessons and Carols each year on the first Sunday evening of Advent. Pageantry, prayer, scripture readings, and music unite to draw worshipers deeply into the identity of the One most longed for. The particular form of this liturgy used at the cathedral was invented here, first presented in 1986, and is today used by churches around the world. It is a highlight of the liturgical year at Saint Mark's for many.
For the 2023 "O" Antiphons liturgy, the Compline Choir, Senior Choristers of the Choir School, and Cathedral Choir will adorn the opening procession by singing Peter Hallock's dramatic setting of the 5th-century hymn From lands that see the sun arise. The "O" Antiphons themselves will be sung in a graceful setting by the 20th-century Canadian composer Healey Willan. The congregation and choirs together will sing a hymn published in 2006 by Mary Louise Bringle, Now the heavens start to whisper, and a new tune by Jack Burnam for the classic Advent hymn The King shall come when morning dawns, among other well-known hymns of the season. Incense will be used. Learn more about the liturgy and see material from previous years here.

Seattle Choral Company presents A Baroque Christmas at Saint Mark's
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 8 P.M., in the cathedral nave. Pre-concert talk with Director Freddie Coleman at 7 p.m. Tickets ($5–27) here.
The Seattle Choral Company kicks off their 42nd season with a holiday concert devoted to Baroque choral masterworks from Italy. Italy, long regarded as the birthplace of Baroque music, led the way during the 17th century with a style of music that was known for its grandiose, dramatic, and energetic spirit. Four Italian cities will be represented, beginning with Milan, where Chiara Margarita Cozzolani published and performed works for the convent at Santa Radegonda, drawing attention from the outside world. Then, on to Naples, where Francesco Durante (1684-1755) premiered his Magnificat in B Flat Major. In Rome, a young George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) composed his brilliant cantata, Nisi Dominus. Finally, in Venice, Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) produced an astonishing range and quantity of music, including his choral masterpiece, Gloria in D Major. The SCC will be joined by a talented quintet of Northwest regional soloists: Jocelyn Claire Thomas and Jennifer Bromagen, sopranos; Sarah Mattox, mezzo-soprano; Zach Finkelstein, tenor; and Zachary Lenox, baritone. Members of the North Corner Chamber Orchestra will also take part in this festive holiday evening.
