Music Of 15th And 16th Centuries

By Male Vocal Ensemble

WASHINGTON — On Sunday, February 18, at 4 pm, the Saint John’s Concert Series will present the male vocal ensemble Lionheart in a concert of music from the 15th and 16th Centuries. Tickets are $15 per person and may be reserved by calling the Parish Office at 860/868-2527.

Acclaimed for their exquisite blend and intonation, the men of Lionheart have established themselves as leading exponents in the field of a cappella singing. Featuring Gregorian chant as the keystone of its repertoire, Lionheart brings its varied medieval, Renaissance and contemporary works to life with a unique artistic expressiveness that has been called “mesmerizing,” “sublime” and “truly spiritual.”

Also recognized for personable immediacy as performers and diversity of performing expertise, Lionheart has amassed an impressive list of credentials in the four short years of its existence, among them performing at Lincoln Center, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall with Steve Reich, National Public Radio’s “Performance Today,” regular performances on WNYC radio, and their own self-produced concert series in New York.

Saint John’s Church is along Route 47 on Washington Green. Call the church office for additional information.
