Our 2021-22 season began with an enchanting holiday concert, this year at St. Mark's Cathedral in Seattle, on Saturday, 12/11, at 7:30pm. We can again connect our hearts through music, together, in the concert hall.
This concert, a favorite holiday tradition for so many, features the full choral-orchestral version of the Vivaldi Gloria, performed with our wonderful partner orchestra, Philharmonia Northwest. The beautiful music and setting for this performance will remind you why people frequent this concert year after year.

O Love
Kirkland Choral Society (KCS) is proud and grateful to present you with this virtual recording of “O Love”, composed by Elaine Hagenberg and based on a hymn by George Matheson. We’ve worked very hard, not just to record and mix this music, but also to support our community as best we can during these challenging times. In that spirit, our great joy is to once again share our passion for music and our community, by providing you with this virtual performance. We hope this lifts your spirits as it has ours!
