Future Concerts
POSTPONED: Candlelight Vox presents Path of Miracles (ft. Divisi Chamber Singers)
Divisi and Candlelight Vox join forces under the baton of Grace Gallur to perform Talbot’s four-movement epic Path of Miracles. The work was commissioned for Tenebrae and chronicles the physical, emotional, and physical transformations of the Camino de Santiago. The the four movement epic chronicles the pilgrimage, evoking the numerous languages and locales part and parcel on the journey. The work pays homage to the difficulty and pious nature of the Camino.
POSTPONED: La Nuova Musica
In this concert we contrast Nuova Musica (new music) with La Nuova Music, a style of music dominated by Montiverdi and Gesualdo. We will tackle this difficult repertoire with a group of 6 expert singers, just as it would have been performed in the Early Baroque Italian tradition.
