The Renaissance marked a period of profound cultural, artistic, and intellectual transformation across Europe—and from this era springs much of the magnificent choral repertoire we still revere and perform today. Indeed, this rich a cappella tradition continues to guide and inspire contemporary composers of remarkable talent.

In this program, experience recently composed works by Nico Muhly, Steven Stucky, Kerensa Briggs, and Zachary Wadsworth paired directly with the Renaissance masterpieces that informed and inspired them—timeless compositions by William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, Orlando Gibbons, and others.

Join us for this extraordinary musical journey and witness the conversations between composers separated by centuries yet united in their shared pursuit of beauty and meaning.
