Frank Martin’s stunning Mass for Double Choir is the centerpiece of these concerts, performed in the dazzling acoustic confines of St. Philip Neri.  We will also explore the heritage of music written for multiple choirs – including Giovanni Gabrieli’s brilliant antiphonal music written for the magnificent space and acoustics of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, which came to define the “polychoral” style in the late Renaissance era, influenced countless composers over the intervening centuries and still thrills audiences to this day.  Additional works for multiple choirs by di Lasso, Bach, Schütz and others will make this a choral surround sound experience you will not want to miss!
