From the rich legacy of psalm settings, our season finale juxtaposes music from the Jewish and Christian traditions. In convertendo (Psalm 126) from the operatic master Jean-Philippe Rameau infuses the psalmist's words with flair and passion, while companion pieces by Salamone Rossi and J. S. Bach infuse psalm texts with sonorous counterpoint.

Featuring:
Erica Schuller, soprano
Elijah McCormack, male soprano ˚
Scottie Rogers, countertenor ˚
Steven Brennfleck, tenor 
Mark Diamond, baritone
Timothy Jones, bass-baritone
