TEXTURE - beauty for dark times (a cappella works by Palestrina & Bruckner)

Event Details

Event type: All Ages

TEXTURE - beauty for dark times, celebrates the music and influence of 16th century Italian composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594) and Austrian composer Anton Bruckner (1824-1896).

The program features Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli: an intricate, exquisite work written in defiance of a papal edict demanding that all sacred music be simple and stark. Also, our program will incorporate five a cappella works by Anton Bruckner who lived 300 years later, yet his music rings with the old master’s influence and style. With this unadorned, a cappella program, we, like Palestrina, stand in defiant defense of the necessity of beauty in dark times.
