The Byrd Ensemble and players present a program inspired by the Carmelite Vespers of 1707. The program features Handel’s Dixit Dominus, Laudate pueri, Nisi Dominus, Saeviat tellus inter rigores, and chant, for baroque orchestra, choir, and soloists. The program features guest concertmaster and internationally acclaimed violinist, Augusta McKay Lodge.
Described as “pure and radiant” (Gramophone), “immensely impressive” (Early Music Review), and “rich, full-voiced, and perfectly blended” (Early Music America), the Byrd Ensemble has been internationally acclaimed for its performances and recordings of chamber vocal music, particularly Renaissance polyphony. John Rutter describes the ensemble as “a fine group that has achieved an enviable standard of tuning, blend, and ensemble.” Founded in 2004, the Byrd Ensemble, directed by Markdavin Obenza, is a professional ensemble made up of 10 to 12 singers. The ensemble presents a subscription series in Seattle and tours across the United States and internationally.
