GREAT VOCALISTS
The Grammy-nominated vocal ensemble VOCES8 returns in a unique collaboration with Inon Barnatan, hailed by The New York Times as “one of the most admired pianists of his generation.” Featuring Jonathan Dove’s masterful choral cycle The Passing of the Year and with a second half of German classical repertoire, the program includes music for voices and piano by Fauré and Beethoven, piano solos from J.S. Bach and Brahms, and a cappella works by Schubert and Taylor Scott Davis, VOCES8’s current composer-in-residence. Blending the elegance of the past with the voice of the present, this concert is a celebration of reflection, beauty and renewal.
