Philip Glass — Piano Quintet No. 1 “Annunciation”
Arvo Pärt — Spiegel im Spiegel
Victoria Bond — Illuminations on Byzantine Chant

Virtuoso pianist and Byzantine cantor Paul Barnes leads this program with the 45th Parallel String Quartet in music inspired by Byzantine chant. Philip Glass wrote his "Annunciation" Quintet for Paul Barnes, who gave its world premiere before the composer in 2018, when Cappella Romana performed the chants upon which it is based. Violinist Ron Blessinger joins Barnes to perform Arvo Pärt's most beloved work, with the program rounded out by Victoria Bond's Illuminations on Byzantine Chant for solo piano.
