Works by Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin and more
Hailed as a “heroic virtuoso,” concert and recording artist Mark Salman has performed in Europe, Asia, Canada and throughout the United States, including Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York, in performances described as “powerful,” “astonishing, exacting, evocative,” “wildly imaginative” and “touchingly lyrical.” His account of his meetings with and playing for Vladimir Horowitz appears in the book, Evenings with Horowitz.
Besides his wide-ranging repertoire, Mr. Salman is perhaps best known for his expertise on Beethoven, having performed the complete cycle of the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas on both coasts as well as in 18 broadcasts on KING–FM in Seattle. His performance of Liszt’s transcription of the Beethoven Symphony No. 7 was named by Seattle Weekly one of three “Performances of the Year.” www.marksalman.net.

Under the baton of Artistic Director and Conductor Karen P. Thomas, Seattle Pro Musica has received international acclaim for recordings and live performances. Choir and Organ writes, “Seattle Pro Musica presents a cappella singing at its best,” and Fanfare Record says, “This is truly an extraordinary choir.”
Seattle Pro Musica believes in the power of voices joined in harmony to enrich the lives of audiences, the ensemble’s singers, and the community at large. The choir believes in making the beauty of choral music available to as many people as possible. Though members come from all walks of life and span generations, Seattle Pro Musica is united by a desire to make beautiful music together and share it with the world.
Join Seattle Pro Musica for exciting choral works by Melissa Dunphy, Nilo Alcala, and Paul Mealor, plus settings of Scottish and American folksongs. Savor a rare Queen Anne neighborhood performance by Seattle’s award-winning choir!

Season Finale Concert:
Joseph Adam, organist
With the tenth anniversary of the Robert Wech Opus 10 organ at Queen Anne Lutheran Church missed due to the pandemic, our season finale concert celebrates fifteen years of the instrument—one of only two full-sized examples in the United States by the German organ builder.
Joseph Adam has been Cathedral Organist at Seattle’s St. James Cathedral since 1993 and Director of Music since 2018. As Resident Organist at Benaroya Hall, he performs regularly with the Seattle Symphony. He received First Prize at the 1991 St. Albans International Organ Competition, the most recent American to take top honors in this prestigious competition. He was on of three organists invited to perform on the new Rosales/Glatter-Götz organ at Disney Hall in Los Angeles as part of the 2004 National Convention of the American Guild of Organists, and his performance was featured on the nationally-syndicated radio program Pipe Dreams. Dr. Adam received undergraduate and graduate degrees in piano from the University of Iowa before beginning doctoral studies in organ at the Eastman School of Music, which awarded him the Performer’s Certificate in Organ, with further organ study at the University of Washington.
