Plainchant Reimagined

Add to my Calendar 01-04-2023 19:30 01-04-2023 21:30 36 Plainchant Reimagined This concert, the first under the choir's new conductor, presents three composers from the mid-20th and early 21st centuries whose music was shaped by medieval plainchant. Plainchaint, two examples of which will be performed, was the only form of music used by the Christian church until the 9th century, and it remains embedded in the identity of Christian sacred music to this day, creating a beautiful, sonorous architecture that rarely fails to transport its listeners.
