Date: Sunday, March 4, 2012. 8:00 PM.
Location: Dinkelspiel Auditorium
These 10 musicians might seem unlikely stage-mates: six male vocalists who are masters of early music (Lionheart) and four leading string players from New York’s contemporary music scene (ACME). But their collaboration here is a fertile one, spanning centuries of musical forms—from the Latin Ordinary to American hymnody, from psalm tunes to the blues—in new large-scale works by two American composers: Phil Kline, hailed for his “direct, vernacular eloquence” (The New York Times); and Ingram Marshall, whose Lively Arts–commissioned Psalmbook, based on the earliest known printed music in North America, receives its premiere in this performance. PROGRAM Kline: John the Revalator (2006); Marshall: Psalmbook (2011)
