Description

PEACE FOR THE SOUL

In 17th and 18th century France, theatres and opera houses closed during the 40 days of Lent. The composers of the time, rather than taking a break, turned their attention to church music, allowing professional singers to share their talents with the faithful. Performing in architectural masterpieces created by Emmanuel Masqueray (1861-1917), we honor the craft of one of Minnesota’s great artists with sublime works by Charpentier, Couperin, Bournonville, and DuMont.

Join us before each performance for a special talk presented by Professor Alan Lathrop of the University of MN to learn about the unique history and architecture of the concert venue.
