Cristina Marton-Argerich is a pianist of international standing whose artistic expressiveness and stylistic depth are admired worldwide. As a soloist and passionate chamber musician, she captivates audiences on major stages with her musical intensity and versatility.

Her performances have taken her to renowned concert halls such as the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, the Liederhalle in Stuttgart, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, the Mozarteum in Salzburg, the Zurich Opera House, the BAM Theater in New York and the Warsaw Philharmonic, as well as appearing with numerous renowned orchestras. Her artistic partnership with Martha Argerich in a piano duo has been celebrated internationally. Together with choreographer Sasha Waltz and her dance company, she has performed in numerous shows worldwide in the successful production “Impromptus”.

She studied in Berlin with Prof. Georg Sava and received important impulses through lessons with Christian Zacharias, Leon Fleisher, Dimitry Bashkirov, Stephen Kovacevich, Gyorgy Sebok, Bruno Leonardo Gelber, Martha Argerich, Andras Schiff, Radu Lupu and Alfred Brendel.

Antonia Miller is an internationally successful concert pianist with performances throughout Europe and at festivals streamed worldwide. She has been studying with Cristina Marton-Argerich at the University of Augsburg since 2014 and has won numerous international competitions and scholarships.

In addition to her intensive piano studies, the artist has also devoted herself to the world of historical keyboard instruments and the pioneering subject of ‘conducting from the piano’ - two areas in which she has decisively expanded her expressive palette and opened up new musical spaces.

Her busy concert schedule has taken her to venues such as the Berlin Philharmonie, the Isarphilharmonie Munich, the Musikverein Vienna-Brahmssaal, the Auditorio Ciudad de León, the Old Academy of Music in Budapest and the Maison Heinrich Heine in Paris. As a soloist, she has performed with orchestras such as the Süddeutsche Camerata, the Swiss Camerata Aperta, Orchestra Galilei, Orchestra Filarmonica “Mihail Jora” Bacau and the Collegium Musicum Singen.

As a teacher, she teaches at the MKZ Zurich and at the Weinfelden music school, where she is head of the keyboard instruments department. She is also assistant to the platform “Open Piano Class-by Cristina Marton-Argerich”, which was nominated for the German Engagement Award in 2023

Missa de Sancta Maria Magdalena - Nicolas Champion

De Profundis - Nicolas Champion

Tulerunt Dominum meum - Josquin De Prez

Rabbouni - Jeroen Spitteler

Gregorian Repertoire

In the midst of the Lenten period Ensemble Hermes sings a program centering on Maria Magdalena, the woman who first saw the risen Jesus, a woman often dismissed as a prostitute but also revered as a saint.

Nicolas Champion (ca.1475-1533) wrote a mass in lush polyphonic style about her encounter with Jesus on that very first Easter day. This mass was preserved for centuries in the Bossche Koorboeken and is now finally being performed again.

You will also hear Champion's De Profundis, previously attributed to Josquin. Definitely by Josquin (ca.1450-1521) is the monumental Easter motet Tulerunt Dominum Meum.

In addition to Gregorian repertoire, there will also be music about Mary Magdalene from our time with the Easter motet for women's choir by Spitteler, composed in 2024.

During this concert the singers will sing from the original hand manuscripts and, as in the ancient practice, gathered round a central music stand specially designed for Hermes.

Good Friday services are designed to provide the opportunity for reflection on one of the key moments at the heart of the Christian faith, the crucifixion of Jesus. The service will explore the different things Jesus carried to Calvary and will include the much loved hymn:
When I survey the wondrous cross. 

A special feature for the Good Friday service will be the
30 minutes of devotional music that will start at 19:30.
The Choir will sing during the service. Other than participation in readings and hymns the service is marked by silence and time for reflection.
We enter the building in silence and leave in silence. The Good Friday service is both moving and dramatic, feeding both the soul and the senses.

Founded in 1982 by Dr. Jerome L. Wright, and currently led by Artistic Director Sarra S. Doyle, the Seattle Girls Choir provides a comprehensive choral education with an emphasis on vocal technique, musical literacy, and ensemble performance. We currently serve around 250 choristers from Seattle and the greater King County region. Choristers attend over 90 different schools. We have levels of instruction for choristers in kindergarten through high school, in addition to a training choir for older beginning singers and a contemporary choir for teens.

Each season’s rehearsals run September through June. Instruction includes music theory, sight-singing, ear-training, vocal training, and performance skills. In the summer months, we run day camps (which serve as many choristers’ introduction to SGC), as well as an Overnight Camp for older choristers. Additionally, we have a longstanding tradition of travel, which includes workshops, festivals, conventions, competitions, and domestic and international performance
