About this event
Beginning in the 15th century in the Netherlands and France, with the early Renaissance composers Richafort, Ockeghem, and Mouton's settings of Marian texts, this concert brings the audience on a journey through time and around the world, exploring settings of Christian texts used in prayer and worship over the last 600 years.
