This group of musicians has grown to include those from all over Seattle and neighboring areas of Tacoma and Bellevue, while maintaining a vibrant and energetic performance character. Members of the ensemble have each earned a wide variety of accolades in their own right, including competition wins and performances with other leading ensembles around the world. The musicians of SMCO are committed to giving exciting performances that bring a fresh look to the masterpieces of the baroque, classical, romantic, and modern eras, while discovering new masterworks as well.

Nathan Jenson - organist and pianist
Nathan Jensen attended Pacific Lutheran University as a music major. He transferred to The Evergreen State College where, under an independent contract, he studied musical composition with Timothy Brock.

He became organist and choir director at First Lutheran Church in Bothell until 2005. He then became organist and choir director at St. John United Lutheran Church (by the zoo!) where he is still employed. In addition, he was also organist for St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Ballard for three years. Nathan's principal teacher on the organ was David Dahl in Tacoma. Nathan is also a pianist for ballet classes. He began this sort of work at the Johansen School of Ballet in Olympia, then in Seattle at the American Dance Institute. He is now an accompanist for
