Welcome this Sunday's Guest Musicians: The Mägi ensemble
At the 9 and 11 a.m. services this Sunday, anthems will be offered by The Mägi Ensemble, a profession choir with a longstanding relationship to Saint Mark's. The choir is directed by Dr. Heather McLaughlin Garbes, who, with her husband Peter, has been a treasured member of the Cathedral Choir for over 20 years. Heather writes,
"The Mägi ensemble is a professional SA vocal ensemble that performs and records music from the Baltic region of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This ensemble’s mission is to perform and record music from the Baltic region and to promote new choral works from that area, especially those by women-identifying composers. Alongside our mission, our vision is to use the power of music to connect with the community and continue to celebrate cultural heritage through the arts. We strongly empower the values of cultural understanding, community, quality and commitment. Our philosophy as both a niche repertoire ensemble and a treble ensemble is to show people the effect that music can have for empowerment, both in social responsibility and gender identity."

SUNDAYS, JULY 17 & 24, 9:30 P.M., in the cathedral nave, broadcast, or livestreamed
Since its debut in 2019, the Office of Compline has chanted by The Women;'s Compline Choir led by Rebekah Gilmore each year. However, the pandemic meant that the women's Compline services in 2020 were chanted by four solo voices, and that in 2021 the service remained closed to the public.
Now at last in 2022, a full choir featuring some of the finest choral singers in the region will chant a service open to one and all. As in the past, the services will feature special repertoire for women's voices, including world-premiere compositions.
Join in person, via livestream, or via the KING-FM radio broadcast. Check out video and photos from previous years here.

Peter Boome Exhibition: Final Weeks
The group of parishioners that is hoping to pool their resources to purchase Birds of a Feather (pictured) as a gift to the cathedral is a little more than halfway to its goal. Contact Deborah Brown at deborahbrown2559@me.com if you would like to get involved. Artist Peter Boome (Upper Skagit) writes, "The design of Birds of a Feather consists of an eagle, raven, hawk, and hummingbird, as well as the sun and moon. [...] The idea is that we are interwoven and intertwined. Our lives depend on other people whether we like it or not. Our actions affect others, and our interactions have innumerable unknown effects." More information can be found in a handout near the painting.
