SUMMARY:Leonardo's Workshop - Online Stream
DESCRIPTION:Music from the time of—and inspired by—the Renaissance master\nThe 2025-2026 season kicks off with a concert devoted to Leonardo da Vinci. The program combines music by contemporaries of the Renaissance master\, including Josquin\, Lasso\, and Victoria\, with modern works that speak to the artist’s lasting influence 500 years after his death. Highlights include Eric Whitacre’s Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine\, a dramatic piece that imagines the fevered mind of the genius\, and excerpts from Jocelyn Hagen’s recent multimedia work From the Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci.  \n\n\n\nTriptych of Knowledge\nJocelyn Hagen\n\nSalvator Mundi\nHerbert Howells\n\nI obey thee\, O Lord (Lacrimosa)\nCecilia McDowall\n\nSuper flumina Babylonis\nOrlando di Lasso\n\nO Magnum Mysterium\nTomás Luis de Victoria\n\nLeonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine\nEric Whitacre\n\nMille Regretz\nJosquin des Prez\n\nEl Grillo\nJosquin des Prez\n\nNymphes des bois\nJosquin des Prez\n\nWondrous Glow\nMari Esabel Valverde

SUMMARY:The World of Dreams – Online Stream
DESCRIPTION:This ticket is for online streaming. After purchasing your ticket\, you will receive a link to the streaming page via email. The event will be available for live viewing and replay through April 1\, 2023. In-person tickets are available here. \nNew Amsterdam Singers salutes American composers who have chosen great poetry — from Hilaire Belloc to e.e. cummings — with expressive references to dreams. These works span 80 years\, from Louise Talma’s charming Let’s Touch the Sky from 1952 to Judith Shatin’s 2021 La Frontera\, a poignant setting of poems by an undocumented teenager at the U.S. southern border\, to Dale Trumbore’s Charting the World\, a newly commissioned piece that will receive its world premiere at this concert. After our first-ever collaboration in May 2022\, The Harlem Chamber Players will again join the chorus on this program\, performing a string quartet by composer\, poet\, and jazz saxophonist Frederick C. Tillis. \nFor Charting the World\, Trumbore has set two poems that capture the wonder of childhood by contemporary poet Diane Thiel. Carol Barnett’s Most Holy Night\, which will receive its New York premiere\, was commissioned by the Minneapolis ensemble VocalEssence in 2015 as part of a project called Quilt Songs\, a cycle of settings of poems inspired by quilts by artist Kay McCarthy. Based on a quilt entitled “Moon River\,” Barnett chose an atmospheric ode to the night by early 20th century English-Franco poet Hilaire Belloc. For her 2008 To Sit and Dream\, composer Rosephanye Powell set lines from a Langston Hughes poem that invites listeners to reach toward dreams of a more just society. \n\n\n\nCharting the World\, World premiere\, commissioned by NAS\nDale Trumbore\n\n\nLa Frontera\nJudith Shatin\n\n\nMost Holy Night\nCarol Barnett\n\n\nYou Can Tell the World\nAlice Parker\n\n\nThe Road Home\nStephen Paulus\n\n\nLet’s Touch the Sky\nLouise Talma\n\n\nTo Sit and Dream\nRosephanye Powell\n\n\nSpiritual Fantasy\nFrederick C. Tillis\n\n\n\nHere\, Music Director Clara Longstreth speaks about why she commissioned Charting the World by Dale Trumbore\, what led her to return to Louise Talma’s Let’s Touch The Sky three decades after the chorus first performed the piece\, and why she isn’t calling this program with six women composers a “concert of women composers.”
