March 1, Monday, 7:30 pm
Pomerium Alex Blachly, director Mannerist Music of the Renaissance Works by: de Silva, de Rore, de Wert, Gesualdo, Lassus |
| Inspired by the renowned chapel choirs of the Renaissance, Pomerium revives the golden age of a cappella singing. The 14 voice ensemble, featuring some of the finest singers in the country, and acclaimed for its luminous sound, performs frequently in New York — at such venues as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Cloisters, the Pierpont Morgan Library, the Frick Collection, and Music Before 1800 – as well as across the USA and abroad.
“One of the finest early-music ensembles in the country, and perhaps the world.” – New York Times (1981) “The standard by which early music vocal groups are measured.” - New York Times (2003) |

| This Catholic High School Invitational brings together choral program students and directors from area Catholic High Schools, in an effort to develop stronger relationships and better sacred repertoire. The groups will sing separately as well as rehearse altogether to sing several massed choirs numbers at the end of the concert. For many, it will be their first time singing with a 100-voice ensemble. The concert also gives the students and directors the opportunity to sing in a resonant sacred space and represent their colleagues in the Mother Church of the Diocese. | |
