European Tour with Cappella Romana

5/6/2013

Exciting news!  In less than a week, I'll be headed across the Atlantic to do a 10 day European tour with Cappella Romana.  We're going to sing in London, Germany, and Greece.  

Some highlights of the tour include:
  • Appearance at the Tage Alter Musik festival in Germany
  • Performance at St Bartholomew the Great, one of London's oldest churches
  • Cappella's first appearance in Athens, Greece
  • Masterclasses and special events at 2 different academic institutions

I've done several tours with Cappella, but this one will be a little different for me, because it is only men and we will only be singing Byzantine chant (as opposed to other programs, which often have women singing and incorporate some modern music).  I will be traveling as an isokrat, which means my primary role is to hold the ison or drone for the chant.  This can be a very unique experience - in some ways very stagnant, but also quite meditative and trance-inducing.    

Here's the full schedule:
