OUR NEXT CONCERT

Saturday | 11 June 2022 | 8pm 

St James Cathedral 

804 9th Avenue | Seattle  

Sunday | 12 June 2022 | 3pm 

Holy Rosary Catholic Church 

4139 42nd Avenue Southwest | West Seattle 

With THE SISTERS, The Esoterics will present a program of Orthodox choral music by the Ukrainian composers Bohdana Frolyak and her late sister Hanna Havrylets. Hanna died tragically this year on the third day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when she suffered an aneurysm and was unable to get medical attention in time.  

Hanna's younger sister, Bohdana, has recovered her scores and shared them with director Eric Banks along with her own works. Eric has transliterated and translated these Ukrainian scores, so that The Esoterics can perform these sisters' music together.  

No tickets or reservations are required for this concert, and a free-will donation will be taken at the door. All of the proceeds from this concert will benefit humanitarian organizations in the Ukraine that have been selected by Bohdana.

Beginning 4 June 2022, St James Cathedral will no longer require that vaccination status be checked for entry to concerts. Although not required, all concert patrons are highly encouraged to wear a mask while inside the Cathedral. Thank you for doing your part in keeping all of our community members safe and healthy, especially those who are immunocompromised or too young to be vaccinated.
