Reflections – At the Carmel Mission
Bach, Byrd, Allegri, and contemporary works inspired by them
Wednesday night’s program, set in the serene and historic Carmel Mission, explores centuries of choral music that embodies spiritual reflection, human fragility, and the quest for transcendence. The sacred space enhances the program’s theme, providing a fitting backdrop for works that bridge past and present, faith and artistry.
From Byrd’s heartfelt Ave verum corpus to Bach’s masterful “Komm, Jesu, komm,” the evening traverses dramatic contrasts and evolving traditions. This concert invites listeners to experience the profound connections between music, spirituality, and the beauty of the Mission.
