Celebrate Sacred and Profane’s fortieth year of bringing exquisite concerts to the Bay Area with a program of masterpieces for a cappella choir! This concert will feature the Estonian composer Veljo Tormis’ "Curse Upon Iron", paired with Arvo Pärt’s antiphon for peace, "Da pacem Domine". For the first time in many years, we will sing our namesake work– Benjamin Britten’s "Sacred and Profane: Eight Medieval Lyrics." Finally, we are delighted to perform the world premiere of "Songs from the North", commissioned for the occasion from Swedish composer Karin Rehnqvist. Reception to follow.
