Seventy years ago,&nbsp;Peter Hallock invited twelve men from the University of Washington to study and sing plainchant together; this study group became known by the office it regularly sang&mdash;Compline. Seven years ago, Jason Anderson invited Rebekah Gilmore to form a women&rsquo;s expression of the Compline Choir to sing the office while the men were on pilgrimage to England. Together, we are one choir with two distinct expressions, and a love of the office we pray and chant&mdash;Compline&mdash;and an affection for the splendid acoustic and supportive, loving community at Saint Mark&rsquo;s Cathedral. We invite you to join us for the celebration of the Compline Choir&rsquo;s 70th and 7th anniversaries this summer from August 14 to 16.
