SUMMARY

This a cappella concert celebrates a dual heritage: that of the extraordinary, vast, and imperishable vocal polyphony of the Renaissance and that of the SMAM, which has sung this repertoire with unparalleled conviction over the past 50 years. Bearing witness to this dedication are its remarkable recordings of works by famous and lesser-known masters, covering more than a century of music, from Josquin des Prez to Johann Hermann Schein. The program also features a foray into the contemporary repertoire…
