Mission Statement

The mission of Opus 7 Vocal Ensemble is to delight and inspire its audiences through the creation and world-class performance of important a cappella choral music, while fostering awareness, understanding and appreciation of recent, rarely-performed and treasured choral music repertoire.

Description

Since its inception, Opus 7 Vocal Ensemble has established a reputation for continually featuring a diverse range of new and rarely performed works, along with time-honored classics of choral literature. Formed in 1992 as a semi-professional choral group by founding director Loren Pontén, Opus 7 specializes in 19th- through 21st-century a cappella choral music. As a resident ensemble of St. James Cathedral in Seattle, Washington, since 1994, Opus 7 is dedicated to performing the works of local and regional composers, regularly commissioning new choral compositions. In addition, since 2000 Opus 7 has fostered new talent in the field of choral music through its unique Student Choral Composition Awards Program.
