Madrigals of Maddalena Casulana in 2025
The Ann Arbor Grail Singers concluded our 2023–2024 season in May with a program of music by Machaut, Palestrina, Stravinsky, and Hildegard. It was wonderful to see you there!
The central work of the Grail Singers’ 2024–2025 season is a set of madrigals by Maddalena Casulana. The madrigals, which were published in 1570, will be interwoven with pieces traditionally heard in the Roman Catholic church on Good Friday: several Gregorian chants, as well as Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina’s Lamentations of Jeremiah, which we will perform in the quincentennial year of Palestrina’s birth.
Our season will conclude with concerts and a CD recording session in May 2025. Please stay tuned for more details, and in the meantime, visit our Facebook page and listen to us on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and other streaming platforms!
