Music: The New Consort: Vocal Chamber Ensemble
March 1 @ 7:30 pm
$5 – $10
The New Consort, one of America’s most exciting new vocal chamber ensembles, will be presenting their new program:
RETURN/REVIVE pairs two major works of grief and hope – one ancient, and one brand new. Tudor composer Robert White’s Lamentations a5, which gorgeously, viscerally express Jeremiah’s sorrow at the destruction of Jerusalem in 587 BCE, are the first piece of Renaissance polyphony I fell in love with as an undergrad. Acclaimed composer and ensemble member Jonathan Woody’s new Lamentation, commissioned with the support of Chamber Music America’s Classical Commissioning Grant, explores updated experiences of loss and otherness, but also celebrates the ability of communities to mold adversity into hope and purpose. Of course, it wouldn’t be a show by The New Consort without a few extra musical tricks up our sleeve… keep your ears open for music by David Lang, Billie Eilish, and Sweet Honey in the Rock.
