Under the baton of music director Gerald Sousa, the group’s 49th season opens on Saturday, November 10 at 7:30 pm with an evening of a cappella music in the pure, ethereal style of the High Renaissance. “Music from the Sistine Chapel” presents works composed for the late sixteenth-century Papal Court, featuring Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli, the composer’s most well-known mass. Also on the program will be large-scale motets, including Allegri’s famed Miserere and Lotti’s Crucifixus. The concert will take place in the resonant sanctuary at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, 100 State Road 46, Bloomington, IN.

Although many people often feel they’re unfamiliar with sacred Renaissance music, its beautiful tonality, powerful reverence, and interesting textures move listeners of all backgrounds. The Chamber Singers’ focus on authentic performance practice and passionate connections with the music shine through every performance. As an auditioned group of about 40 singers, the choir demonstrates a commitment to attaining the highest standards of choral music.

Cost: $12 General Admission, $5 Students with ID, free for ages 18 and under
