Ave Generosa Marian and Lenten Reflections

Expect to be deeply moved by the soprano and alto voices of the Trinity Choir during this evening of choral music that glorifies Mary, compassion, and the spirit of Lent. With Hildegard von Bingen’s luminous Ave generosa at its center, the program also presents Francis Poulenc’s Litanies à la Vierge noire — which he wrote after visiting the shrine of the Black Virgin of Rocamadour, a 12th-century pilgrimage site in southwestern France — and Marian gems by Maurice Duruflé, Bernat Vivancos, Edvard Grieg, and Ola Gjeilo. A trio of newer voices (Zanaida Stewart Robles, Ily Matthew Maniano, and Margaret Rizza) add their innovative perspectives to the timeless themes of mercy, devotion, and divine joy. Alcée Chriss III, organ; Melissa Attebury, conductor .
