Dead of Winter presents 14th to 18th century polyphony: Henry Purcell (1659-1695), Hildegard Von Bingen (1098-1179), Alonso Lobo (1555-1617) Manuel Cardoso (1566-1656), including Mexican Indigenous composers, Manuel de Zumaya (1678-1755,) and Geronimo Gonzales (c.1633).
Woven within is Waa Waa Steewak (Northern Lights), Andrew Balfour’s groundbreaking Indigenous oratorio for chamber choir, viola, and narrator.
A reimagining of the presentation of early music: Europe meets North America.
