Description
Joined by Oktavist Alexander Mayang, the professional chamber consort Vox Obscura explores the origins of sacred music from ancient Eastern Orthodox hymns and chants to complex western polyphony - all within a meditative, Lenten framework. This programmatic concert examines the physical relationship between man and creator within the living, breathing landscape of early music. Seating is limited - please reserve tickets in advance for this intimate performance at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Monrovia. Viscera will also serve as the foundation for Vox Obscura's debut album.
Viscera = internal guts
Incarnate = divine made flesh
Polyphony = intricate interplay of voices
Works by Pérotin, Machaut, Josquin, and Vox Obscura composers with ancient and medieval orthodox music from Hebrew, Greek, Arabac, and Syriac traditions.
Performed by chamber choir, cantors, lute, harp, strings, and a featured oktavist
Location: St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Monrovia - 122 South California Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016
