The five voices of amarcord take us on a journey half a millennium in the making. The quintet was founded over thirty years ago by graduates of the famed Thomanerchor in Leipzig—the “a ca-fellas” of amarcord are in their prime and equally at home with music old and new. The program traverses Renaissance fare from Josquin to Schütz, German Romantics from Schubert to Wagner, and music by living composers including Joanne Metcalf, Vanessa Lann, Sydney Marquez Boquiren and Steven Sametz.
