Voices of Ascension

Dennis Keene, conductor

The towering masterpiece of the Early Baroque, with many soloists, double chorus, Early Music strings, recorders, cornetti, sackbuts, theorbos, harpsichord and organ. Truly one of the pillars of Western Music. We are privileged to collaborate with Dark Horse Consort for this memorable occasion – the finest interpreters of this repertoire to be found in the Western Hemisphere.

The early music ensemble Dark Horse Consort is dedicated to unearthing the majestic late renaissance and early baroque repertoire for brass instruments Inspired by the bronze horse statues in Venice’s famed St. Mark’s Basilica the ensemble attempts to recreate the glorious sounds of composers such a Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Monteverdi and Heinrich Schütz.
