The concert is a collaboration of the University’s music department, Office of Campus Ministry and Benedictine Institute. The tradition began 15 years ago as a way of honoring the University’s patron saint, Saint Martin of Tours, whose feast day is November 11.
“The Sacred Music concerts include Renaissance music, gospel, and contemporary music,” says Darrell Born, associate professor of music and Saint Martin’s Chorale director. “Readings and poetry will be interspersed throughout the concert to punctuate the performances.”

The Fall Grays Harbor Symphony Concert is titled Música Latino Sinfonía. It will feature orchestral music from Latin America, including: Danzon No. 2, by Marquez; El Salón México, by Copland; Huapango, by Moncayo; and Rhumba from the Latin American Symphony, by Gould.
