The Empty Tomb & Tongues of Fire: Easter to Pentecost in East and West May 22, 2010

Celebrating the Feast of Feasts and the foundation of the Church, Artistic Director John Michael Boyer leads the Josquin Singers on a journey from Easter to Pentecost and from East to West. The holidays of Pascha (Easter) and Pentecost have yielded some of the most joyful and profound music in both the East and the West. This Pentecost weekend, the Josquin Singers will perform repertoire from this joyful season taken from the chant and polyphonic traditions of Rome, England, Moscow and Constantinople, sung in their original languages of Latin, Greek and Slavonic.

The Josquin Singers are a professional vocal ensemble specializing in Josquin de Prez and other Medieval and Renaissance music of Western Europe, and in the repertoires of the Eastern Orthodox Church, including Chants of the Greek Byzantine tradition as well as Slavic chant and polyphony from periods ranging 500 years. Artistic Director John Michael Boyer.
