Vancouver Concert Series continues with a performance of Duke Ellington’s choral composition The Sacred Concert on Sunday, May 16th at 2:00 p.m. at St. Joseph Church, 400 S. Andresen Road in Vancouver. The concert features the 60-voice Bravo! Vancouver Chorale and the 16-piece Pacific Jazz Orchestra.

Growing up on northwest Washington, D.C., Ellington attended two churches every Sunday. Ellington's first Concert of Sacred Music premiered in 1965. It was presented at New York’s Cathedral of St. John the Divine in January 1968, before an audience of six thousand people. "I regard this concert," Ellington would write in 1973, "as the most important thing I have ever done. The sacred concert we perform is people talking to people about God."
