Presented in partnership with the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra


Ellington’s wonderful “Sacred Music” is both serious and swinging. It is a reverent and hip body of jazz composition, written late in his career, for jazz big band, vocal and instrumental soloists, and tap dancers.

For the past 30+ years Earshot Jazz and Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra have partnered to present an annual concert of Ellington’s Sacred Music. The Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, led by Artistic Director Michael Brockman (who co-founded SRJO alongside Clarence Acox Jr.), features the big band with Jay Thomas (trumpet),  Phil Sparks (bass), Randy Halberstadt (piano), Mark Taylor (saxophone), Sid Hauser (saxophone), Travis Ranney (saxophone), and many other musicians.


Returning are vocal soloists—Stephen Newby (baritone voice) and Nichol Veneé Eskridge (alto voice). Also returning this year are the choral ensemble combining members of the Northwest Chamber Chorus (Jeremy Edelstein, director) along with Music Director, Vanessa Bruce and vocalists. Our tapdancer is yet to be confirmed, stay tuned.

Note about the livestream option:
Tickets to livestream and in-person concerts sold separately. At the time of a livestream ticket purchase, you will receive a confirmation email with a url link to access the concert stream. A reminder email will be sent out shortly before the event begins.

The livestream concert begins at 7:30PM PST. Ticket-holders will be able to access the concert as a “video on demand” with the same link, once the initial livestream concert has aired, until January 11, 2026. Once the concert has aired live, please allow at least 24 hours for viewing as our staff needs time to set up the “video on demand” manually.
