Join us to celebrate the power and ethereal beauty of unaccompanied choral works by celebrated Russian composers. Alfred Schnittke’s Concerto for Choir is a four-movement work setting to music the sacred poetry of Armenian monk Grigor Narekatsi. The program also includes selections from Sergei Rachmaninoff's Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, a work inspired by ancient Russian Chant but suffused with a spirit of modernism.
