Radiant choral and instrumental music of the Baroque

In music, light is given voice through harmony, texture, tonal color and text. The exuberance of Baroque music particularly captures its energy and joy. Music of the Baroque era will be at the center of our performance, against which we will juxtapose earlier and later compositional styles, producing a prism of musical colors, enhanced by unique performance spaces. The program will feature accompaniment on period instruments by The Fanfare Consort, New England's premier Early Instrumental Ensemble. Musical settings by Bach, Handel, Tallis, Dufay, Rutter and Lauridsen will enrich inspiring texts to illuminate the soul. Program
