This program explores the intersection between medieval vocal music and modern chamber music, from the meditative to the ecstatic. Longtime member of vocal supergroup Anonymous 4, Jacquiline Horner-Kwiatek, leads ModernMedieval Voices (“exquisitely sung,” Wall Street Journal) in chants by Hildegard von Bingen as well as new music by Caroline Shaw and Caleb Burhans; Grand Electric shares meditative and chant-inspired selections for piano and electric guitar, including arrangements of music by J. S. Bach; they are joined by flutist Alex Sopp (“beautifully nuanced,” New York Times), who also performs music by Aaron Copland.
