Cori Spezzati

Led by our new artistic director Nate Widelitz, we present a tribute to the grand choral traditions of Renaissance Venice, this program celebrates the striking antiphonal style known as cori spezzati—music written for split-choir ensembles in conversation. Voices and instruments echo across space in works by Willaert, Gabrieli, Phinot, and others, with shifting textures that highlight the drama of large and small forces. Bach’s dazzling double-choir motet Singet dem Herrn crowns the program with jubilant brilliance. Take advantage of our new Choose What You Pay program (available for advance purchase only).
