This program explores the intersection between medieval vocal music and modern chamber music, from the meditative to the ecstatic. A longtime member of vocal supergroup Anonymous 4, Jacquiline Horner-Kwiatek leads ModernMedieval Voices ("exquisitely sung," The Wall Street Journal) in chants by Hildegard von Bingen as well as new music by Caroline Shaw and Caleb Burhans; Grand Electric shares meditative and chant-inspired selections for piano and electric guitar, including arrangements of music by J.S. Bach; they are joined by flutist Alex Sopp ("beautifully nuanced," The New York Times), who also performs music by Aaron Copland.

About ModernMedieval Voices
ModernMedieval Voices is all-female ensemble created by Dr. Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek to present programs that combine medieval chant and polyphony with new commissions and music from later eras.

Grand Electric (Mark Dancigers, electric guitar & Aaron Wunsch, piano) is a new duo project that explores the sonic possibilities of the electric guitar and grand piano. The duo was created out of the desire to expand the boundaries of chamber music by fusing acoustic and electric realms.
