BYRD ENSEMBLE PRESeNTS…
Muhly Meets Byrd
Opening our 20th Anniversary season and to honor 400 years since the death of our namesake, William Byrd, this program features a new work by American composer Nico Muhly based on Byrd's motet, Ne irascaris, Domine. The world-premiere performance will be conducted by Muhly himself.
The program also features other favorites by Byrd and his contemporaries and will conclude with a performance of Tallis’s monumental 40-part motet, Spem in alium.
We are excited to be presented by Portland-based choral ensemble, In Medio, for our program on Sunday, October 22 at 3pm. The program will open with a performance by In Medio and will combine forces for a performance of Tallis's Spem in alium. (Nico Muhly will not be present for this performance.)
