Serafina: By an Unknown Hand
Saturday, March 29th, 7 p.m.
Serafina is a four-voice early music ensemble that lifts up music written by, for, and about women through performance, education, and advocacy. We’re thrilled that they will perform their newest project, In an Unknown Hand, here at Christ Church. Focussing on music from two newly-rediscovered anonymous convent manuscripts, the members of Serafina have painstakingly transposed, edited, and interpreted pieces that have likely not been heard for centuries. With early music from Europe and Canada, the program sheds light on the work of uncredited convent composers and singers around the world. Join Serafina as they recreate how this music may have sounded three hundred years ago, and history comes to life! Tickets and more information are available at serafinamusic.com
VOCES8 in Concert
Sunday, April 6th, 7 p.m.
Hear Grammy-nominated British vocal ensemble VOCES8 perform in one of Detroit’s most beautiful settings, Christ Church Detroit!
“The singing of VOCES8 is impeccable in its quality of tone and balance. They bring a new dimension to the word ‘ensemble’ with meticulous timing and tuning.”
— Gramophone Magazine
Touring globally, VOCES8 performs an extensive repertory both in its a cappella concerts and in collaborations with leading musicians, orchestras, conductors and soloists. Versatility and a celebration of diverse musical expression are central to the ensemble’s performance and education ethos which is shared both online and in person.
“VOCES8’s gorgeous sound, impeccable ensemble and intense responsiveness to text, harmony and melodic shape is all of the highest quality. Hearing them sing is a joy.”
— BBC Music Magazine
Crossroads – A Detroit Choral Project
Saturday, April 12th, 7 p.m.
Join us for the inaugural concert of a new Detroit vocal ensemble, exploring the meaningful, whimsical, and unexpected ways in which we’re connected. Christ Church Detroit choir members Katya Powder and Mike Rowan are part of this performance. Bringing together a versatile collection of area vocalists, “Crossroads” illuminates our common threads through a dynamic range of music spanning centuries, continents, and styles from the Renaissance to Sara Bareilles. With collaborative direction, our musical journeys take us through the heart of our own community as we feature original compositions from multiple members of the ensemble, including a world premiere: Quinn Vincent’s The Road Not Taken, setting the famous Robert Frost poem. Admission is free; advance registration is appreciated.
