"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.
