Dress rehearsal tonight and concert tomorrow night! Join us for the end of our first season for a journey through time as we trace the evolution of 'cori spezzati" (double choir) from the Northern Franco-Flemish composers like Mouton and Willaert to Italian masters like the Gabrielis. This clip is from Willaert's "Verbum bonum et suave."

It's concert week! In just a few days, you'll get to hear this gorgeous Ave Maria setting by Franco-Flemish composer Jean Mouton, as well as works by his pupil Adrian Willaert, and Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, as we trace the lineage and development of double choir music in Venice.

Rehearsals for "Path to Venice" are underway! We are so excited to share this music with you next Saturday, May 2. Here's a clip from Adrian Willaert's "Laudate pueri Dominum," the first truly double choir piece you'll hear on the program.

It's concert day! Join us tonight for an evening of rarely-performed early Renaissance gems. We've worked hard to put this incredible music together, and we're eager to share it with you.
This is the Kyrie from Guillaume Dufay's "Missa se la face ay pale." Despite it being arguably one of his most famous works, even diehard fans of early music don't get a chance to hear it live very often. Be one of the lucky ones!

This Saturday, we present "Music from the Burgundian Court." We've been rehearsing all week and the music is really starting to come alive. Music from this time is rarely performed, so it's sure to be a real treat to experience it in person.
Here's a clip of the intimate and impassioned "Amours mercy" by Gilles Binchois (c.1400–1460), a chanson in which the singer is compelled and commanded by the love they feel for another. What drama!
We hope you'll join us for this special concert this weekend! Link to tickets in our bio ✨

Today, help Evenstar grow! 🌱
With our first two concerts, "Tapestry" and "Echoes of Spain," we've introduced our vision: to bring Renaissance polyphony to life with authenticity and emotional resonance.
"Music for the Burgundian Court" is just around the corner in early 2026, and we're now entering the next phase of this journey: building and sustaining momentum.
Every bit of your support moves us forward. Thank you for believing in us, and in our vision.
Warmly,
John, Jen, & Alex ✨
