Palestrina 500

Saturday 17 May 2025 at 3pm, Sterling Place Community Centre, Dunkeld

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina was born between 3 February 1525 and 2 February 1526. This year we celebrate his 500th birthday. A prolific composer, Palestrina was the first Italian to successfully adopt the polyphonic style practiced by Flemish composers like Guillaume du Fay and Josquin des Prez (both of whom are represented on this program).  Alongside Palestrina‘s well-loved Missa Aeterna Christi Munera and lesser known works on this program, sacred and secular, is the famous Miserere by Palestrina’s student, Gregorio Allegri.

Renaissance Requiem

Saturday  26 July 2025 at 3pm, Sterling Place Community Centre, Dunkeld

For modern concert-goers, the term Requiem conjures up works by Mozart, Berlioz, Verdi and Britten, all of whom used considerable orchestral and choral resources to depict heaven, hell and the last judgement. The Missa pro defunctis, composed by Tomás Luis Victoria is a requiem of a very different kind. This work succeeds in portraying the gamut of human emotions with great intensity, dealing with themes of life and death while using only the human voice. This requiem is the inspiration and the departure point for a new work by Gordon Kerry, commissioned by Robert Lewis for the ACC.

Gordon’s new work takes the form of  interpolations between an exquisite array of Renaissance choral music, sacred and secular. The entire performance tells a story of how we deal with loss and sadness.

Baroque Christmas 2025

Saturday 13th December at 3pm, Sterling Place Community Centre, Dunkeld

A fixture on the Christmas calendar, this ever-changing program, now in its seventh incarnation, is testament to the fact that throughout history, composers have produced some of their liveliest and most engaging work for the Christmas season
