Cordancia and Quince Concert: Their Voices Heard

Cordancia Chamber Orchestra with Quince Ensemble conducted by Evan Meccarello
One of the most influential living composers, Steve Reich turns 90 this October. The ensemble will perform Tehillim (Psalms), a setting of four ancient Hebrew texts with hypnotic overlapping melodies and rhythms derived from the chanting of the words. Four female voices and 24 instruments come together through Reich's memorable and unmistakable rhythmic drive. https://stevereich.com/
Also featuring Courtney Bryan’s Requiem, which combines a small New Orleans-inspired band of instruments with the four voices of Quince in a reverent multicultural requiem. Bryan pulls in influences from neo-shamanistic rituals and the Tibetan Book of the Dead alongside texts from Catholic and Protestant funerary rites. https://www.courtneybryan.com/
A remarkable quartet of women vocalists, Quince Ensemble’s primary members Liz Pearse (soprano), Amanda DeBoer Bartlett (soprano), and Carrie Henneman Shaw (soprano) are joined by Laura Betinis Healy (mezzo soprano) for these performances. Dedicated to changing the paradigm for contemporary vocal music, Quince thrives on unique musical challenges and genre-bending contemporary repertoire. https://www.quince-ensemble.com/
