The Sixteen: The Deer's Cry
$30-$60 ($25-$51 senior, $22-$45 student/ages 25 & under/CU faculty/staff, $10 CU student)
One of the world's most renowned choral ensembles, The Sixteen makes their Miller series debut with a stunning program pairing works by William Byrd and Arvo Pärt. Though hailing from different eras, the two composers are both celebrated masters of sacred music, despite facing considerable persecution for their work. The program alternates between works from Byrd's Cantiones Sacrae, including the mighty eight-voice motet Ad Dominum cum tribularer, and three works by Pärt that highlight his signature style, with its unique blend of ancient and modern.
