A six-strong Marian Consort explores music from late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Spain, in a program celebrating the rich compositional legacy of the Siglo del Oro's intensely competitive musical culture. These luminous works - centered on the figure of the Virgin Mary - demand performances of great intelligence and vocal commitment, and the youthful singers respond absolutely, bringing hushed intimacy and bristling excitement to some of the most gorgeously searing lines in the history of European polyphony.
