On Sunday November 13 at 3pm, Downtown Voices featuring the NOVUS NY string quartet explore works by Undine Smith Moore, Jessie Montgomery, Jenni Brandon and David Lang in an array of selections that explore various composers takes on an “anthem” or a song that represents ideals. Montgomery’s stunning Source Code takes inspiration from spirituals and Gjeilo’s Dark and Luminous Night portrays the journey of the soul as it is guided out of darkness by the light of love. The centerpiece of the concert is David Lang’s the national anthems, a meditative reflection on themes of peace, war, patriotism, pride of place, and what it means to defend freedom that is ultimately fragile and delicate. the national anthems culminates in a powerful contemplation (our common fate) that despite lines drawn on a map, we are all inextricably linked in our human experiences.

2022-10-03 | carnegie hall: stern auditorium
Tenor Soloist and Director of Downtown Voices
Downtown Voices and Buffalo Philharmonic In commemoration of his 100th birthday, we celebrate the life and works of Lukas Foss, music director of the BPO from 1963 to 1970, and a transformative force in the Buffalo arts scene. His early tonal works, like Ode for Orchestra, Symphony No. 1, and Three American Pieces, were sublime, while his later works, such as Renaissance Concerto, which will feature flutist Amy Porter, explored an exciting avant-garde sound for which he became well-known. Rounding out the program is a nod to Foss’ great friend, Leonard Bernstein, with his Three Dances from On the Town, telling the tale of a trio of sailors and their amorous adventures while on leave in New York City.

Handel's Theodora at Caramoor
2022-07-31 16:00 - 19:00 | Caramoor, 149 Girdle Ridge Road, Katonah, NY, 10536
Theodora stands out as one of Handel’s finest creations. Composed in 1749 at the twilight of his career, this penultimate major work was undervalued at the time but recognized now as the masterpiece it is. An oratorio brimming with dramatic intensity (and often staged as an opera), Theodora traces the tragic tale of the eponymous Christian martyr facing persecution at the hands of the Romans. This concert performance — with Trinity Wall Street’s magnificent period-instrument Orchestra and Choir — features a stellar roster of celebrated soloists including Anthony Roth Costanzo and Marie-Eve Munger.
