Joined by Oktavist Alexander Mayang, the professional chamber choir Vox Obscura explores the origins of sacred music from ancient Eastern Orthodox hymns and chants to complex western polyphony- all within a meditative, Lenten framework. This programmatic concert examines the physical relationship between man and creator within the living, breathing landscape of early music. Presented in the intimate, resonant acoustics of Concordia’s Good Shepherd Chapel in Irvine (March 20) and St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Monrovia (March 28), Viscera will also serve as the foundation for Vox Obscura's debut album.Friday, March 20, 2026 | 7:00pm - 8:15pm (Irvine, CA)
