Details on session from NPM.org website: Over two hundred years ago, when, in Europe, Mozart was at peak popularity and Beethoven was still a youth, the California Missions resounded with the sound of choir and orchestra. On the opposite side of the North American continent, the simple a cappella hymns and fuguing tunes of William Billings represented the pinnacle of European composition; but at the missions, orchestras and choirs composed of indigenous children and conducted by friars performed routinely in the California missions. Join Chorus Angelorum & the California Mission Sinfonia to experience this oldest scion of choral-orchestral European music in the territory of today’s United States.
