Pomerium

Sage Chapel, 8pm

Inspired by the renowned chapel choirs of the Renaissance, Pomerium revives the golden age of a cappella singing. The 12-voice ensemble features some of the finest singers in the country and is acclaimed for its luminous sound. Performing at numerous international festivals, the New York Times calls the group "one of the finest early-music ensembles in the country, and perhaps the world." Cornell's breathtaking, 1873 Sage Chapel is the perfect milieu for Pomerium's "ravishingly beautiful singing. Light but strong, blended, clear, and totally winning." -The Boston Globe

Program: Vocal music from Europe including Barcelona, Venice, the Sistine Chapel, and Toledo by Johannes Ockeghem, Francisco Guerrero, Andrea de Silva, Christóbal de Morales, Nicolas Gombert, and Tomás Luis de Victoria.
