To accompany its revival\, Tenebrae has commissioned a unique new choral work by Owain Park\, Footsteps\, which allows Tenebrae to perform alongside local choirs and marks Tenebrae’s fifteenth-anniversary season. \nThe Path of Miracles world premiere was due to take place on 7th July 2005 at St Bartholomew-the-Great\, yet this was the day of the London bombings. The premiere was cancelled and rescheduled for ten days later and its inaugural performance became a powerful act of reflection and contemplation. \nPath of Miracles is a work based on the most enduring route of Catholic pilgrimage\, the great Pilgrimage to Santiago. Singing this work by candlelight in the magnificent setting of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis guarantees Tenebrae at its dramatic best .

Today’s Vienna Boys Choir is comprised of talented young singers from all over the world who are admitted by audition. Approximately eleven weeks of the school year are devoted to touring\, and each choir member sings about 80 concerts a year.

Their vocal line-up was (by chance) two countertenors\, a tenor\, two baritones and a bass\, and the group has never wavered from this formation since. \nWhat really distinguished the group in its early years was its musical diversity. The King’s Singers were a weekly fixture on prime-time television\, celebrating popular music never usually touched by choral ensembles\, and their unique British charm\, combined with their musical craft\, captured audiences’ hearts the world over. The group has consistently been welcomed on the world’s great stages throughout its history – from London’s Royal Albert Hall to the Opera House in Sydney or New York’s Carnegie Hall – as well as being ambassadors for musical excellence across the globe. Two Grammy® Awards\, an Emmy® Award\, and a place in Gramophone magazine’s inaugural Hall of Fame sit among the numerous accolades bestowed upon the group. \nThis love of diversity has always fuelled The King’s Singers’ commitment to creating new music. A panoply of commissioned works by many of the supreme composers of our times – including Sir John Tavener\, Toru Takemitsu\, John Rutter\, Luciano Berio\, Nico Muhly\, György Ligeti and Eric Whitacre – sits alongside countless bespoke arrangements in the group’s extensive repertoire. The group is determined to spread the joy of ensemble singing\, and leads workshops and residential courses all over the world each season. \nThe world may have changed a lot in the fifty years since the original King’s Singers came together\, but today’s group is still charged by the same lifeblood – one that wants to radiate the joy singing brings every day\, and that want to give life to audiences with their virtuosity and vision for an exciting musical future. \n\n\n\nPatrick Dunachie Countertenor\nTimothy Wayne-Wright Countertenor\nJulian Gregory Tenor\nChristopher Bruerton Baritone\nChristopher Gabbitas Baritone\nJonathan Howard Bass \n  \nProgram \n\nShir hamma’alot le David – Salamone Hebreo Rossi (c. 1570 – 1630)\nSurge\, propera amica mea – Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c. 1525 – 1594)\nNigra sum\, sed formosa – Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina\nSicut lilium inter spinas – Giovanni Pierluigi da PalestrinaLagrimas de mi Consuelo – Juan Vasquez (c. 1500 – c. 1560) \nThe Prayer of King Henry VI – Dr Henry Ley (1887 – 1962)\nIn Manus Tuas – Thomas Tallis (c. 1505 – 1585)\nSing joyfully – William Byrd (c.1539 – 1623) \nVersa est in luctum – Alonso Lobo (c. 1555 – 1617) \nBasiez-moi! – Josquin des Prez (c. 1450 – 1521)\nPaisible domaine – Orlandus Lassus (c. 1532 – 1594)\nRevecy venir du Printans – Claude le Jeune (c. 1528 – 1600) \nEl fuego – Mateo Flecha (1481 – 1553) \nIntermission \nMusica Dei donum – Orlandus Lassus (c. 1532 – 1594) \nDas ist je gewißlich wahr – Heinrich Schütz (1585 – 1672)\nInnsbruck\, ich muss dich lassen – Heinrich Isaac (c. 1450 – 1517)\nFrisch auf\, last uns ein gut’s Glas Wein – Hans Leo Hassler (1564 – 1612) \nLa Guerre – Clément Janequin (c. 1485 – 1558) \n \nWelcomed by URL:https://cathedralconcerts.org/event/the-kings-singers/ LOCATION:Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis \, St. Louis\, Missouri ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cathedralconcerts.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/The-Kings-Singers-GOLD-credit-Marco-Borggreve-17-low-res.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20171015T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20171015T143000 DTSTAMP:20260422T071219 CREATED:20181016T065236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181016T065500Z UID:7060-1508077800-1508077800@cathedralconcerts.org SUMMARY:Diane Bish\, organist & Angela Brown\, soprano DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 15 at 2:30pm\n  \n \n  \nHallelujah!

However\, as their recordings and performances demonstrate\, the music they produce is anything but. \nFamiliar to audiences across the world\, the boys have an original sound\, which is at once both ancient and modern. Their distinctive white robes symbolize the traditional origins of their style – yet their music reaches across the generations to a new mainstream audience. Libera’s success in album charts around the world bears witness to the extraordinary appeal of this unique ‘boy band’. Enchanting audiences wherever they go\, they have attracted an enthusiastic fan base in many countries\, particularly the US & Canada\, Russia\, UK\, Japan\, the Philippines\, Taiwan\, Singapore and South Korea. \nIn the US & Canada\, Libera are known through their concert tours and TV appearances including nationwide PBS specials\, NBC ‘Today’ show and ‘The Tonight Show.’ The boys had their US debut at the Kennedy Center Honors\, where they performed in front of the President and a hall full of celebrities in a moving tribute to honoree Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. This was followed by Libera’s participation in the Papal Mass at the climax of Pope Benedict XVI’s first visit to the USA. Performing to a capacity congregation of 65\,000 at New York’s Yankee Stadium; Libera were the only British artists to take part in this historical event. \n  URL:https://cathedralconcerts.org/event/libera/ LOCATION:Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis \, St. Louis\, Missouri ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cathedralconcerts.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/LIbera-at-Washington-National-Shrine1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170512T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170512T200000 DTSTAMP:20260422T071219 CREATED:20181016T070438Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181016T070520Z UID:7063-1494619200-1494619200@cathedralconcerts.org SUMMARY:Friar Alessandro DESCRIPTION:The Voice from Assisi\nFriday\, May 12 at 8:00pm\n“Behind every successful tenor is … a story. Pavarotti was a larger than life character who understood how to popularize sometimes difficult music. Bocelli overcame his blindness to become a superstar and has managed to bridge the divide between popular and classical music. Friar Alessandro fits very well into this tradition.”\nFrom “The Singing Friar”\nBritish TV Documentary \n  \n \n  \nWhen you meet Friar Alessandro Brustenghi you realize straight away there is something beatific\, possibly angelic about him. Slight and sweet in his brown Friar’s garb. When we meet in the Porziuncola-Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli/St. Mary of the Angels in Assisi he talks about the troubled passionate saint with empathy. \nLike St. Francis\, Friar Alessandro\, 34\, has multiple missions and was conflicted in his past. His journey to his final vow\, was a precarious soul search\, like St. Francis himself. \nFor a long time his music and his faith were hanging in the balance. Fortunately the release of Voice of Assisi shows that ultimately neither was sacrificed. His voice is pure and pain soaked. The songs heartbreakingly beautiful. Alessandro’s eyes have a permanent twinkle. In his voice you hear the essence of who he is\, of being filled with love. \nRead More about Friar Alessandro \nSupport for this concert provided by Charles & Shirley Drury & Family and Schlapprizzi Law URL:https://cathedralconcerts.org/event/friar-alessandro/ LOCATION:Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis \, St. Louis\, Missouri ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cathedralconcerts.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Friar-Alessandro.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170430T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170430T180000 DTSTAMP:20260422T071219 CREATED:20181016T070734Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181016T071016Z UID:7065-1493575200-1493575200@cathedralconcerts.org SUMMARY:Cathedral Concerts Gala 2017 DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 30\, 2017 6:00pm\nFour Seasons Hotel St. Louis\nFunds raised this evening go to support Cathedral Concerts’ mission of presenting affordable live concerts in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis featuring world-class musicians and the finest repertoire of sacred and classical music for the cultural enrichment\, education\, and enjoyment of the entire region. \nThis year we are pleased to honor Michael & Noémi Neidorff with our “Great Music Award” for their exemplary leadership and outstanding support of the arts in St. Louis. \nThe Honorary Gala Co-Chairs of the event are Marsha and Bill Rusnack. \nThe party includes cocktails & hors d’oeuvres\, an elegant dinner\, a brief oral auction\, and a special live performance by world-renowned soprano\, Christine Brewer in the stunning Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown St. Louis. \nGala Tickets: $175 / VIP Tickets: $275 URL:https://cathedralconcerts.org/event/cathedral-concerts-gala-2017/ LOCATION:Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis\, St. Louis\, Missouri ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cathedralconcerts.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Michael-and-Noemi-Epworth-high-ressmallfile.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170421T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170421T200000 DTSTAMP:20260422T071219 CREATED:20181016T071254Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181016T071254Z UID:7069-1492804800-1492804800@cathedralconcerts.org SUMMARY:Organ and Brass Spectacular DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 21\, 2017 at 8:00pm\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n• Organist and conductor Andrew Peters serves as organist and director of music at Second Presbyterian Church in St. Louis.

The Catholic and Anglican composers are from the renaissance period\, the orthodox are modern. It is interesting to hear how the sacred mood is similar between these composers\, yet it is achieved by quite different stylistic means. This difference is fascinating to me\, not least because these texts are central to every Christian of every period.” Peter Phillips URL:https://cathedralconcerts.org/event/the-tallis-scholars-2/ LOCATION:Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis \, St. Louis\, Missouri ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cathedralconcerts.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/TallisScholarsforslider.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170224T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170224T200000 DTSTAMP:20260422T071219 CREATED:20181016T071714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181016T071748Z UID:7072-1487966400-1487966400@cathedralconcerts.org SUMMARY:St. Louis Collegiate Choirs Concert DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 24\, 2017 at 8:00pm\nFeaturing the choirs of Webster University directed by Dr. Trent Patterson\n& the University of Missouri – St. Louis directed by Dr. Jim Henry.\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nTwo of the St. Louis area’s finest collegiate choirs featuring up and coming young performers URL:https://cathedralconcerts.org/event/st-louis-collegiate-choirs-concert/ LOCATION:Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis \, St. Louis\, Missouri ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cathedralconcerts.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/CollegiateChoirsforslidertanbackground.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170210T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170210T200000 DTSTAMP:20260422T071219 CREATED:20181016T072052Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181016T072052Z UID:7074-1486756800-1486756800@cathedralconcerts.org SUMMARY:Vienna Boys Choir DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 10\, 2017 at 8:00pm\nCall for availability of Section 1 Tickets: 314-533-7662\n \n  \nThe world’s most beloved choir has been thrilling audiences young and old for over 500 years.
