Event Details

Join us for a one-of-a-kind PWC concert experience at Meets the Eye Studios (in-person and livestream), featuring a multimedia performance of Freida Abtan’s new opera for chorus and video, The sound of grief. This PWC commission reimagines the Orpheus myth and his overwhelming grief that threatens the living world.

Immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty of treble chorus and harp with selections from Gustav Holst’s “Hymns to the Rig Veda,” inspired by translations of Vedic Sanskrit texts. Become lost in the slow movement of glaciers in Betsey Biggs’ masterful multimedia work MELT for chorus and video. 

Be among the first to hear the pieces we will bring on tour in May 2026 to Seattle and the Tapestry International Festival in Vancouver, British Columbia!

*Please be advised that seating at Meets the Eye Studios is limited to 60 attendees per performance. To ensure entry, we encourage you to purchase tickets early. For those unable to attend in person, a livestream of 4/18 performance will be available so you can enjoy it from anywhere.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
