Reflections invites you on a sonic journey pairing radiant Renaissance masterpieces with bold contemporary reimaginings—each setting drawn from the same timeless texts. At the heart of the program lies Thomas Tallis's awe-inspiring Spem in alium the monumental 40-part motet that continues to captivate audiences nearly five centuries after its creation. Experience the luminous clarity of Renaissance polyphony alongside fresh striking interpretations by today's composers including Ken Burton Roderick Williams James MacMillan Caroline Shaw Frank Ferko and more. These pairings illuminate how the same words can inspire profoundly different emotional landscapes—offering a musical journey of deep contrast dialogue and resonance across the ages.
