“A most perfect blending of voices, made radiant and effervescent.” - Boston Musical Intelligencer
​
Join Ensemble Altera, described by the BBC as “something extraordinary”, for a transformative choral experience inspired by the primal forces that shape our world: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. In The Four Elements, ancient ideas meet modern resonance, with music that speaks to the fragility of our planet, the mystery of breath, the intensity of flame, and the stillness of deep water. This one-of-a-kind performance gathers some of the finest professional choral singers from both sides of the Atlantic, in a powerful musical convergence of world-class vocal talent.
​
This is music that stirs the soul, whether you’re a seasoned concert goer or simply seeking beauty, connection, and reassurance in an uncertain world. Ensemble Altera delivers sound with breathtaking clarity, emotional immediacy, and an obsessive attention to vocal detail. Artistic director Christopher Lowrey is, as Rondo Magazine put it, a “vocal fanatic” who “knows exactly what he wants" from his singers. Program highlights include music by John Taverner, Eric Whitacre, Kenneth Leighton, Morten Lauridsen, Ivo Antognini, Owain Park, John Rutter, Ä’riks Ešenvalds, and Charles Villiers Stanford.
