A Cry of Many Voices: British Isles & the Lowlands
Saturday, September 20, 2025 at 7:30pm
Sunday, September 21, 2025 at 3:00pm
This concert features unique repertoires from England and from across the channel, in the area of modern-day Belgium, composed primarily between c.1490 and c.1510, during the transition from the late Medieval to the early Renaissance. The featured choral works were written for 9-19 separate parts with sublimely florid interweaving voices alternating with hypnotically static harmonic rhythms: the ultimate effect is greater than the sum of its parts. Both performances of this concert will be held at St. Martin’s Lutheran Church.

The poetry, music, and culture of the troubadours of what is now southern France informed and inspired musicians and poets all over Europe for generations. TEMP will perform songs, chants, and motets from southern France and northern Spain to evoke the passion, intellect, and cultural fervor that arose from Occitania, Castilla, and Galicia, making the region a center for the arts in the 11th-13th centuries.
Purcell. Henry Purcell: A license to trill
Saturday, April 18, 2026 at 7:30pm
Sunday, April 19, 2026 at 3:00pm
Henry Purcell is deservedly known as England’s greatest composer before Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams. His music is used often in movie soundtracks and his operas are revived frequently on international stages. We are thrilled to end our 2025-2026 season with music from Purcell’s eclectic repertoire for the theater, the opera, the court, the sanctuary, and the pub.
