Friday, November 5, 7:30 pm - New York Polyphony
New York Polyphony is establishing itself as one of the finest classical vocal ensembles of a new generation. With "beautifully blended voices of individual distinction" (The
Independent, London, U.K.), the all-male foursome delivers its signature fusion of historically informed performances in a range of styles. Interspersed among a program of sacred masterpieces from Tudor England are four new works by British-Norwegian composer Andrew Smith, adding a modern harmonic richness and complexity to the program. The result is a compelling synthesis of ancient and contemporary vocal music. Tickets are $20.00 for adults and $10.00 for seniors and students, sold only on concert night.
