Pacific MusicWorks

Mission

A contemporary voice for early music.

Pacific MusicWorks explores the stories of the past and present dramatized through the medium of historical instrumentation and the human voice.

Description

Seattle-based Pacific MusicWorks is a musical production company focused primarily, but not exclusively, on the presentation of vocal chamber music and operatic works of the 17th and 18th centuries. In recent years we have also committed ourselves to commissioning new works written for period instruments as a means of bridging the stories of the past with those of today.

We believe everyone should be able to experience the beauty and power of music. PMW extends its community through extensive programming of events at local venues and other non-traditional venues. Our newest initiative, Sanctuary in the City, removes financial barriers to access as a series of free-to-the-public concerts on the second Wednesday of each month at Christ Our Hope Church at the Josephinum in downtown Seattle.  These concerts gather a diverse audience– including local tech workers, passersby, retirees, school groups, and employees from other the nearby businesses. Sanctuary in the City cultivates a culture of congregation, community, reflection, and joy.
