25th Birthday Concert: something old, something new …
Saturday, October 19, 2024 at 3:00 PM
Blue Heron returns to its origins, singing the glorious music of Hugh Aston from the Peterhouse Partbooks, and looks to the future with Boston composer Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol’s Devran and a new piece written for the occasion.
Blue Heron’s 25th Birthday Party Reception to follow!
Christmas in 15th-Century France & Burgundy
Friday, December 20, 2024 at 8:00 PM
Saturday, December 21, 2024 at 3:00 PM
Saturday, December 21, 2024 at 8:00 PM
One of Blue Heron’s most beloved programs, presented for the first time since 2018, with music by Du Fay, Regis, Obrecht, Josquin, Brumel, and others.
The Armed Archangel: Johannes Regis, Missa L’homme armé
Saturday, February 1, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Regis’s Mass based on the song L’homme armé is one of the very first in a series of L’homme armé works stretching across musical generations – and the only one whose origins are clearly understood. Written for the celebration of the feast of St. Michael at Cambrai Cathedral in 1462, the Mass is a tour de force setting multiple plainchant cantus firmi and featuring Regis’s brilliant and unique sense of sonority.
A More Subtle Art: The Late 14th-Century Ars subtilior
Saturday, March 1, 2025 at 3:00 PM
A new program featuring the head-spinningly complex music of the generation after Machaut – stories of mythological characters and deities set to jazzy, intoxicating polyphony.
Song of Songs / Songs of Love
Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Two actors join Blue Heron’s singers for a revival of a dramatic program last performed in 2012: sacred polyphony setting texts from the Song of Songs, Spanish love songs, and poetry in Spanish and Hebrew.
All concert dates, programs and personnel are subject to change without notice.
