Music of the Baroque: Celestial Voices

From the beginning, Music of the Baroque's roots can be traced to choral music performed in churches. Principal Guest Conductor Nicholas Kraemer highlights the Chorus’s incredible range of talent in music from the Renaissance to the Baroque, from the shimmering sounds of Palestrina and Byrd to the high energy of Bach’s “Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied” (Sing unto the Lord a new song).
