🌟 A journey through centuries of music, where the mystical beauty of medieval chant meets the imagination of contemporary composers. Philadelphia Chamber Music Society welcomes ModernMedieval Voices, the acclaimed vocal ensemble founded and directed by Dr. Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, formerly of the world-renowned quartet Anonymous 4. In La Santísima Virgen María, the ensemble explores centuries-old Spanish manuscripts celebrating the Virgin Mary, bringing to life the haunting beauty of 12th- and 13th-century chants and polyphony. Woven into this historical repertoire are four world-premiere miniatures by composer Laura Jobin-Acosta, inspired by traditional Marian antiphons and offering a contemporary perspective on this centuries-old musical tradition.

With luminous harmonies, intricate vocal textures, and the ethereal sound of unaccompanied voices, this is an opportunity to experience early music in a wonderfully intimate and atmospheric setting--and at half the price through Groupmuse Nights Out.

What's the music?

For Love of Mary (La Santisima Virgen Maria)

Running time: approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes (no intermission)

Performers include:
Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, mezzo-soprano
