The acclaimed vocal quartet in concert
About this Event

The word polyphony describes many independent voices interwoven in harmony—and this is the essence of , four critically-acclaimed soloists who unite to create music transcending individual artistry. National Finalists for the 2023 American Prize in Chamber Music Performance, this exceptional vocal quartet has rapidly cultivated a devoted following across the nation and remains a perennial favorite of Emmanuel audiences. This concert features a collection of water-themed works, including Darius Milhaud's mesmerizing 1936 Cantique du Rhône—a voluptuous, spellbinding musical love poem to the river in France. Set to text of Paul Claudel, this enchanting piece weaves rich, anachronistic imagery of ravishment and conquest into its captivating composition.

  • Amy Broadbent, soprano
  • Sylvia Leith, mezzo-soprano
  • Matthew Hill, tenor
  • Edmund Milly, bass-baritone

Note: A complimentary pre-concert welcome reception begins at 5:30 p.m. Please join us!

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.
