Oregon Arts Watch Autumn Preview

“Cappella Romana‘s season premiere concert stands alone. The title piece, Heaven and Earth, was written by six composers, CR Associate Conductor John Michael Boyer among them – a unique collaborative effort premiered by Cappella Romana in 2018 (read Matthew Andrews’ ArtsWatch review here). It is paired with Sir John Taverner’s Ikon of Light (Oct. 15, 8 pm and 16, 3 pm, PDX; Oct 14, 7:30, Seattle).”

“Cappella Romana is offering their long awaited world premiere of All Night Vigil by Oregon educator and composer Robert Kyr (Nov. 12, 8 pm and 13, 3 pm PDX; Nov. 11, Seattle). This 45-minute work is an English language setting inspired by Rachmaninoff’s own All Night Vigil (read Friderike Heuer’s ArtsWatch review of their 2018 performance here).”
