Program

Kilbourn Concert Series: Weser-Renaissance Bremen, Manfred Cordes, director

For the first time in its history, the Kilbourn Concert Series goes on the road!  This special presentation offers listeners a world-class performance in one of Rochester’s most magnificent settings.  Weser-Renaissance Bremen will present a special program of the glorious instrumental and vocal music of Heinrich Schütz at St. Michael’s Church on Saturday, November 13. Schütz is generally regarded as the most important German composer before Bach. Weser-Renaissance Bremen, an acclaimed historical performance ensemble of singers and instrumentalists, appears regularly at major European early music festivals, and their local concert provides a rare opportunity to hear how Schütz’s music sounded to Baroque audiences.  Weser Renaissance will be joined by the Christ Church Schola Cantorum, Stephen Kennedy, director
