Description

Opening our 20th Anniversary season and to honor 400 years since the death of our namesake, William Byrd, this program features a world premiere commissioned by the Byrd Ensemble, "Fallings." The new work, by American composer Nico Muhly, is based on Byrd's motet, "Ne irascaris, Domine" and will be conducted by Muhly himself.

The program also features other favorites by Byrd and his contemporaries and will conclude with a performance of Tallis’s monumental 40-part motet, "Spem in alium."
