Palestrina’s Art with Folger Consort

Folger Consort continues its 2019/20 season celebrating the music of Italy with Palestrina’s Art. The historic Washington National Cathedral is the perfect setting for the transcendent vocal counterpoint of composers of the late Italian Renaissance. Famously represented by the works of Palestrina, this era is rich in music composed by women. Folger Consort shines light on this worthy repertoire with heavenly voices offering sacred motets and instruments joining forces for sonorous polychoral works. With celebrated British vocal ensemble Stile Antico and brass instruments of Tesserae Baroque.
