Marking 500 years since the birth of one of the Renaissance's greatest composers, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
About this Event

Considered the leading composer of late-16th century Europe, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525–1594) had a lasting influence on the development of both religious and secular music in the late Renaissance — and also far beyond. As composer of more than 100 surviving settings of the Latin Mass and 250 motets, his output is undoubtedly one of the greatest in the history of music for the church — and, as a testament to his stature within the Roman Catholic tradition, he was entombed in St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome upon his death. Join The Emmanuel Choir for a program centered on this master’s stunning polyphonic output — including the famous and transcendent Missa Papae Marcelli — as we mark five centuries since his birth.

  • Christian Lane, director

About the choir

The Emmanuel Choir is Maryland's premier professional liturgical choral ensemble.

A 16-voice fully-professional mixed-voice ensemble, its 12-member core is augmented by four Choral Scholars, each a local young artist. Rooted in the great and expansive choral traditions of the Anglican (Episcopal) Church, the Emmanuel Choir’s repertoire spans the centuries — from Italian Renaissance to English Romantic; from plainsong to the 21st century — and includes regular world-premiere performances of new music composed for the church of today and tomorrow. The choir is directed by Christian Lane.



Parking and Transportation

Emmanuel Church is located at 811 Cathedral Street in Baltimore, on the corner of Cathedral & W. Read Streets in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood.

Ample street parking, both free and metered, is available in historic Mt. Vernon. After 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, and all day on Sundays, many meters do not require payment and most residential restrictions are lifted. Please be sure to consult signage carefully.

However, we strongly encourage our patrons to avoid the stress of searching for street parking, and to make a parking plan before arriving into our residential neighborhood. To that end, the following websites and associated mobile apps may be very useful:

About the venue

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is located in the heart of Baltimore's historic Mt. Vernon neighborhood. Its tremendous stone tower at the corner of Cathedral and W. Read Streets serves as a beacon in this community, and the nave's warm acoustic and gentle ambiance contribute to creating an ideal environment in which to hear choral and chamber music.

In 2022, the church building underwent a $3.2M transformation to make each space in its physical plant fully accessible to all; included in this project was an elevator, increased ramp access, and new restroom facilities.
