Called “Exquisite in every way” (Gramophone), The Thirteen is a professional choir celebrated for reimagining the potential of vocal music from many periods. Praised for performing with “striking color and richness” that “transfigures the listener” (The Washington Post), the ensemble has been at the forefront of vocal performances ranging from early chant to world premieres and the centuries in between.
In this performance, they invite audiences to experience their work through the intimate configuration of a vocal quartet, with Artistic Director Matthew Robertson at the piano. The close alliance between nature and music dates to the earliest written treaties of philosophers and composers. In this concert featuring works by Barber, Brahms, Hindemith, Palestrina, and contemporary masters, The Thirteen presents music on themes of the natural world and on nature as viewed through the kaleidoscope of love, in all its faces: divine, filial, and romantic.
