"The one that hath no music in himself...is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils." So says Shakespeare, whose texts, in the hands of Vaughan Williams, give us a ravishing tribute to the gift of music in our ears. This program, incoming Artistic Director JD Burnett's debut with Orpheus, collects choral works that venerate the human impulse to make and hear music. The choir's very namesake, Orpheus, is our inspiration. The program also includes works by Lassus, Britten, and Esmail.

Orpheus will be presenting this concert in person and also via live stream. View a digital concert program here.

Mr. Krehbiel is well-known for his creative thematic programming of music across many centuries with a particular love of the ancient and brand new. For the final concert of this season, he has chosen music written within the last ten years to highlight music our current culture is inspiring modern composers to create. Orpheus will present three states of being—LOVE, AWE, and ANGER—with music by Eriks Esenvalds, Ted Hearne, Cecilia McDowell, Jake Runestad, and other renowned, current composers. This will be a thrilling, evocative close to our anniversary season, and one not be to be missed.

Living composers are writing new anthems and motets using 16th and 17th century masterpieces as their inspiration. This entire concert will feature original motets such as J. S. Bach’s ‘Komm, Jesu, komm’, with a reflection by American Ted Hearne, and Allegri’s famous ‘Miserere Mei” with the 7 high C’s, followed by a reflection by British composer Alexander Campkin. To this intriguing program, we’re delighted to welcome two superb High School chamber choirs from Keller and Cedar Hill, singing individually and with Orpheus. And if that’s not enough, we will also premiere a new work by Shavon Lloyd, winner of our inaugural student composition competition.

ADVANCE TICKET SALES WILL END AT 3PM ON MARCH 7, BUT TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THE DOOR.
