iCal 8:00 PM. Musica Sacra [MA]: Less is More: Minimalism in Choral Music. This program begins where last season’s March program left off—this year we are taking the old shape note tunes in a minimalist direction, inspired by William Duckworth’s monumental collection Southern Harmony. We will also explore what happens when you deconstruct music in a wider sense, so you will hear music with the use of a limited scale, music without pitch, music without rhythmic coordination, and so forth.

For more information, call 617-349-3400 or email info@musicasacra.org. 11 Garden Street Cambridge, MA, Cambridge MA 02138 (View flier)
