Galvin Recital Hall
Andrew Megill, guest conductor; Charles Foster, keyboard
One of America’s leading choral musicians, Andrew Megill returns to lead a program on the eve of Lent—a season rich in introspective works from the Church. The program is anchored by Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera’s 20th-century masterpiece, Lamentations of Jeremiah, and the strikingly innovative responsories for Tenebrae (religious services held in the three days preceding Easter) by Italian composer Carlo Gesualdo, written 400 years earlier. The program also features music of James MacMillan, Gregorio Allegri, and Johannes Brahms.
Gregorio Allegri, Miserere
