Renaissance Evensong II

Rose City Renaissance curates the new Renaissance Evensong Series at the beautiful Parish of St. Mark. Held near twilight and combining the ancient monastic hours of vespers and compline, Evensong is meant to convey a contemplative and peaceful meditation at the end of the day. The series unfolds across the year in the hands of several of Portland’s early music ensembles, with RCRS singing two of the four.

Robert Parsons, whose Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis is a soaring tour de force for a relatively small number of singers, alongside his Ave Maria, Thomas Tomkins’ Preces and Responses, and Leonhard Lechner’s De Profundis Clamavi.
