The remarkable Stile Antico marks its twentieth season by honoring the 500th anniversary of one of the greatest masters of Renaissance polyphony, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, whose career was inextricably intertwined with the Papacy and the great churches of Rome for which he composed. The program includes some of the composer’s most beloved and timeless motets, gems by other leading composers active in Rome at that time, and a new work by British composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad, written especially for this occasion.

In their Miller debut, the award-winning voices of The Marian Consort present a program of sumptuous Renaissance polyphony from some of Scotland’s few surviving 16th-century manuscripts. Works from the ‘Dunkeld’ Partbooks provide a glimpse of the musical riches performed in this period, including the beautiful anonymous Missa Felix namque. In addition, selections from the ‘Wode’ Partbooks showcase pieces by local musicians responding to the changing musical styles and requirements of post-Reformation Scotland.

Join us for a heartwarming afternoon of chamber music at "The Music of Friendships" concert, presented by the Clinton Symphony Orchestra. This special event is set to take place on Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 2:00 pm, hosted at the St. Paul Lutheran Church, located at 715 S 3rd St in Clinton, right at the foot of the Highway 30 bridge.

Due to unforeseen weather conditions, the concert has been rescheduled to ensure the safety and comfort of all attendees. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate through the blizzard conditions and bitter cold. Our priority is to keep everyone cozy, warm, and safe during this blustery weekend.

"The Music of Friendships" celebrates the intimate and collaborative nature of chamber music, a genre often described as the music of friendships. Composers craft these pieces with specific friends in mind, sometimes including parts for themselves to play within the ensemble. This tradition of gathering with friends to perform and listen to music is a testament to the deep connections formed through the art of music-making.

The concert will feature a selection of pieces that exemplify the spirit of friendship and collaboration, including the "Piano Trio in G Minor, Op. 26" by Antonin Dvořák, performed by Nadia Wirchnianski (piano), Asa Church (violin), and Ann Balderson (violoncello). The program also includes works by Josquin Des Prez, Thomas Ford, Hubert Waelrant, Thomas Morley, Pierre Passereau, and a collection of Miniatures for Woodwind Quintet by William Grant Still, showcasing the talents of Crystal Duffee (flute), Tamara Byram Mahl (oboe), Elizabeth Matera (clarinet), Thomas Wood (bassoon), and Bianca Sierra (horn).

This event is not just a concert but a celebration of the enduring bonds formed through music. Whether you're a lifelong fan of chamber music or curious to experience it for the first time, "The Music of Friendships" promises an afternoon of exquisite music that speaks to the heart of what it means to create and enjoy music together.

Don't miss this opportunity to warm up your January with beautiful music and the company of friends. We look forward to sharing this special day with you.

St. Paul Lutheran Church

Conductor Andrew Megill leads a celebration of our Chorus in breathtaking spaces. From the intricate counterpoint and surprising dissonance of Machaut’s Kyrie and Andrieu’s Armes, amours to the Renaissance splendor of Ockeghem, Josquin, and Byrd, the evolution of choral music unfolds. Tallis’s breathtaking 40-part motet, Spem in alium (Hope in no other), soars alongside Monteverdi’s highly expressive madrigals and Bach’s deeply moving Komm, Jesu, komm and Jesu, meine Freude.
