For Unto Us a Child Is Born: Renaissance Choral Music for the Holiday Season with Vox Lucens
Sunday January 26, 2020 at 3:00 PM
Join us for a special program of Renaissance Choral Music for the holiday season by our Artists in Residence, Vox Lucens. Under the direction of Holly Druckman, they will perform music from across Europe in a program that spans more than two hundred years of Renaissance music. The ensemble began in 1998 as a group of friends who got together to sing Madrigals for the enjoyment of it. Vox Lucens is Latin for “a shining voice” and refers to the ensemble’s sound as well as their desire to shed light on the wide variety of a cappella Renaissance repertoire with its rich polyphonic structures and luminous sound. An artists’ reception will follow the concert.
