The Westminster Choir in Concert: The Sense of Senses

All Saints' Church, 16 All Saints' Rd, Princeton NJ
Tickets available at the door: $25

The Westminster Choir sings an eclectic program covering 400 years of choral music, beginning with an exploration of the Baroque motet from a simple, expressive early-17th-century work of Heinrich Schütz to Bach's mid-18th-century mesmerizing counterpoint.. Cellist Frankie Carr and keyboardist Eric Plutz join the choir in 21st-century laments and celebrations: the plaintive Sanctus of Sebastian Currier, Reena Esmail's Hindustani-influenced setting of 14th-century poetry, David Lang's meditative perspectives on Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs. A bit of Westminster history is also touched on in works of Gian Carlo Menotti, founder of the Spoleto Festival, and alumna Rosephanye Powell. Donald Nally conducts.
