The group has performed with GRAMMY, Dove and American Music Award recipients.
Arcadia Players - Vicente Lusitano and his Circle
Music Room, Wistariahurst Museum, Holyoke
Motets for 4, 5 and 6 male voices by Lusitano, Gombert, Willaert, and Clemens non Papa
Lusitano, a 16th-century Portuguese cleric, is considered the first classical composer of African ancestry ever to be published. His beautiful vocal music has only recently become known to modern performers and audiences. The sacred polyphony from this era is extraordinarily rich but is seldom performed. In addition to Lusitano's own works, this program offers music by three of the most influential composers of the day, masters whose music Lusitano certainly knew.
Please join us for a pre-concert talk at 1pm. Andrus Madsen will discuss Lusitano’s life, times, and the re-discovery of his music.
The Music Room at the Wistariahurst Museum is one of the region's finest concert venues, ideally suited for this repertoire.Seating is limited and advance ticket purchases are advised. There is ample free parking on the street and at the nearby Senior Center.
