exture celebrates the music and influence of 16th century Italian composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. The program features Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli: an intricate exquisite work written in defiance of a papal edict demanding that all sacred music be simple and stark. Our program will celebrate this work and incorporate works by German composer Anton Bruckner. Bruckner lived 300 years later yet his music rings with the old master’s influence and style. With this unadorned a cappella program we like Palestrina stand in defiant defense of the necessity of beauty in dark times.
Tickets are $30 (+ s/c) in advance / $35 at the door. Students with valid ID are admitted free.
