Info:
New York Polyphony in their San Francisco Performances' debut performs an intimate meditation on the holiday season in "Sing Thee Nowell", at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, a program that spans nine centuries of music, in a fusion of historically informed performance of traditional works with new compositions. The performance includes works by Philippe Verdelot, Tomas Luis da Victoria, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Alexander Craig and others.
Praised for a "rich, natural sound that's larger and more complex than the sum of its parts," (National Public Radio) New York Polyphony is one of the foremost vocal chamber ensembles active today. The four men, "singers of superb musicianship and vocal allure," (The New Yorker) give vibrant, modern voice to repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant to cutting-edge compositions. Their dedication to innovative programming, as well as a focus on rare and rediscovered Renaissance and medieval works, has not only earned New York Polyphony two Grammy nominations and wide acclaim, but also helped to move early music into the classical mainstream.
New York Polyphony tours extensively, participating in major concert series and festivals around the world. Noteworthy engagements include debut performances at London's Wigmore Hall and The Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, residencies at Dartmouth College and Stanford University, concerts under the aegis of the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht (Netherlands), and the European premiere of the Missa Charles Darwin-a newly commissioned secular Mass setting based on texts of Charles Darwin by composer Gregory Brown-at the Museum fur Naturkunde in Berlin. Elsewhere New York Polyphony has performed as part of the Tage Alter Musik Regensburg Rheingau Musik Festival, Thuringer Bachwochen (Germany) Abvlensis International Music Festival (Spain) Stiftskonzerte Oberosterreich (Austria) Festival de Musica de Morelia (Mexico) and the Elora Festival (Canada), among others.
