How we experience music is inexorably tied to time and place. In this concert, we hear one of the oldest works the William Ferris Chorale has ever performed, John Sheppard’s Tudor masterpiece In Media Vita.
This concert explores how different living composers interact with and draw inspiration from historic musical styles. A new commission by Kile Smith responds to Sheppard’s work. We will also hear music based on Renaissance models by Francisco Coll, Cecilia McDowall, and Sven-David Sandström. Works by Paul French and Joanne Metcalf round out this unique concert.
