$Spring Concert \u2014 Prima dell\u2019Aurora$

This spring, Aurora Chamber Singers presents two monumental works of sacred choral music—Palestrina’s Missa Brevis and Handel’s Dixit Dominus. Written more than a century apart, these pieces offer contrasting visions of devotion and musical expression: one rooted in the serene clarity of Renaissance polyphony, the other charged with Baroque theatrical intensity. Together, they illuminate how sacred texts continue to inspire composers across eras and traditions. We’ll also perform female composer Vittoria Aleotti’s Hor che la Vaga Aurora, a madrigal written about the dawn. Please join us!
