Organ by Night
THIRD SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH, 10:10 P.M. (immediately following Compline), in the cathedral nave and in the organ loft
The tradition of informal mini-concerts on the Flentrop following Compline have introduced generations of Seattleites to the power and beauty of a real pipe organ. All are welcome to listen in the nave, or join the organist in the loft to see what playing an instrument of this size is really like. (The radio program The Organ Loft, which airs on KING-FM immediately following Compline each week, was inspired by this tradition.) A Q&A in the loft usually follows the performance.
The new iteration of this offering, called Organ by Night, will be offered once a month, on the third Sunday of each month.
