This Somerville-based ensemble explores the ways that composers took secular tunes and built sacred music around them, leading to juxtapositions that - at least to the modern mind - seem incongruous, irreverent, or strikingly resonant. The King on earth mingles with the King of Heaven, the monk's whore enters the same window as the Holy Spirit, and the soldier readying himself for war lies alongside the Lamb of God.

Newton Baroque Celebrates 19th Century Piano Masterpieces
Byron Schenkman, piano
Pianist Byron Schenkman presents a salon-style recital of piano favorites: Beetnoven’s “Sonata Pathetique”, Robert Schumann’s “Scenes from Childhood” as well as less frequently heard works by Johannes Brahms and Clara Schumann. The New York Times has praised Schenkman for his “lovely singing tone” and the Pittsburgh Post-Dispatch has lauded his “beautifully sculpted piano playing.” He is also recognized for illuminating his performances with insightful commentary. A frequent recording artist, Schenkman will be performing on Second Church’s acclaimed 1870’s Streicher piano which closely resembles the instrument used by Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann.
