The Inspiration of Palestrina / MVP 1
Program
Slovenian Philharmonic Choir
Stephen Layton conductor
Featuring the powerful Missa Papae Marcelli, the concert is dedicated to the great Renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina on the 500th anniversary of his birth. Without the old, there is no new, as we can only create the future through understanding the masterpieces of the past. As well as connecting us with our roots, Palestrina inspires new works of art that preserve the spirit of past centuries while embodying the freshness and relevance of modern times.
