Jeanne Lamon Hall @ Trinity St. Paul's CentrePre-concert lecture at 2:45pm by Ann Monoyios.
Period string ensemble led by Julia Wedman, violin
Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber is considered the most innovative violinist of the 17th century. Yet the attention given to his instrumental works has also cast a shadow over his vocal music, which is equally (if not more) brilliant. In this concert, Biber’s masterful Requiem in f minor will be preceded by some of his most innovative motets and sacred cantatas, demonstrating his compelling recipe for deepening the Catholic liturgy: the mixture of dramatic singing and Bohemian violin virtuosity.
This concert is supported by a special donation by Margaret Magee. The Biber Requiem is dedicated to the memory of Jack Schuster (1930-2025).
