Gallicantus
Literally meaning "rooster song," the name Gallicantus comes from monastic antiquity for the worship service held just before dawn that evokes the renewal of life offered by the coming day. Dedicated to Renaissance music and directed by Gabriel Crouch, this early music group boasts a wealth of experience in consort singing, drawn from groups such as Tenebrae, the Tallis Scholars, and the King's Singers. In their North American debut, Gallicantus sings works by John Sheppard, William Byrd, and Thomas Tallis, including Tallis's Lamentations. Gallicantus is lauded by the Times of London for "impassioned, exciting music."Sponsored by the Performing Arts Series. Tickets: $20/15/6. Go to the Box Office>>
