Friday, December 5 at 7pm at the Ellensburg United Methodist Church Dr. Nicole Lamartine will lead the CWU Chamber Choir in their annual candlelight concert, “Woven in Light.” The concert always sells out, so get your tickets soon! In a world often frayed by noise and division, we gather by candlelight to listen, to breathe, and to be woven together through song. Woven in Light invites us into a space of stillness and shared humanity — where each voice becomes a luminous thread in the larger fabric of peace. Through ancient hymns and contemporary works, this program traces the ways light intertwines with sound, spirit, and community. As the glow of each candle joins another, the music reminds us that peace is not a solitary flame but a tapestry—one that glimmers more brightly when our voices, our hearts, and our hopes are intertwined. The choirs create the audience experience through a continuous collage program interwoven with prose, improvisation, chamber groups, and solos. Interwoven through the experience are moments of familiar music that surprise and connect. The concert concludes with candlelight illuminating the church as everyone sings “Silent Night.” Tim Ribner from Portland, Oregon is the featured collaborator, and special guest Jeff Selden will perform with the choir on guitar. Purchase tickets through Wildcat Tickets.
