"Christopher Lowrey has put together something extraordinary...the journey through the life of Christ told in six centuries of music, so many surprising juxtapositions...and it just makes perfect sense. The performances are superb...a beautiful recording and joy to listen to, the sound lovely, warm, and resonant."

Led by internationally celebrated countertenor Christopher Lowrey, the group has quickly become known for thoughtful programming, passionate performances, and tireless advocacy for the importance of ensemble singing in the broader music culture.
