Upcoming Engagements
MASTERS OF THE RENAISSANCE: THE NETHERLANDS SCHOOL
Arguably the richest repertoire of a cappella choral music from the “Golden Age of Choral Music.” This program features one great work after another from more than two centuries of history, starting with the absolute summit of Early Renaissance masters, Josquin des Prez, and going all the way to the High Renaissance works of Orlande de Lassus. Also featured are seldom heard, but exceptionally poetic and colorful motets of Dutch composer, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck.
Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass
