2011-12 Season

During our 2011-12 season, we explore early music from Germany. In our first concert "Senfl Indulgence", music of Swiss-German composer Ludwig Senfl (1486-1543) wove the style of the Medieval and the Renaissance together in a colorful tapestry of polyphony. Our second concert "The Three Sch’s", we round up the sacred and secular music of three composers who predated J S Bach: Heinrich Schütz, Johann Schein, and Samuel Scheidt. Join us on our musical journey!
