Solstice

The concert features pieces ranging from the early renaissance to the 21st century, including a pair of millennial pop tunes, cleverly arranged in the style of 16th century madrigals. The program includes a mix of sacred and secular music, including older works by John Dowland, Orlando Gibbons, and 18th century Ukrainian composer Maxim Berezovsky. Newer pieces include works by living composers Sara Graef, Ola Gjeilo, and Eric Whitacre, to name a few.
