For its Spring 2026 concert, the St. Lawrence Choir presents Renaissances, a journey through the history of choral music, from the refinement of the Renaissance to the rediscovery of sacred song in the 19th century.
The first half will showcase the brilliance of European Renaissance polyphony, featuring emblematic works by William Byrd, Clément Janequin, and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. These masters of sacred music united spiritual fervor and vocal balance in works of timeless beauty.
The second half will evoke the choral revival of the 19th and 20th centuries, marked by a return to the purity of a cappella singing and inner expression. It will feature works by Edward Elgar, Maurice Duruflé, and Camille Saint-Saëns, composers whose music blends lyricism, contemplation, and spiritual depth.
Under the direction of guest conductor Andrew Gray, the St. Lawrence Choir will bring these works to life, celebrating the vitality and continuity of the choral art across the centuries.
