Staten Island OutLOUD is proud to join this seasonal concert by Voyces, a Staten Island-based early music ensemble.  We’ll read from traditional Lessons for the winter holiday season.  Our spoken word will be illuminated with music by Praetorius, Jacob Handl, Richard Deering, Thomas Ravenscroft, and everybody’s favorite Renaissance team, Anonymous and Traditional.  Two settings of O magnum mysterium by Victoria and Gabrieli will encapsulate this rich program.

Voyces is dedicated to the study & performance of Renaissance and Baroque vocal works.  Voyces is directed by its founder Beth Johanning, a Staten Island resident. Staten Island OutLOUD thanks Ms. Johanning for inviting us to join Voyces.

This event is free and open to the public.  St Marks In-the-Bowery is an historic house of worship dating back to early European settlement in New York.  It is a widely-respected center for music, dance, experimental theatre and poetry, and diverse community gatherings.  St. Marks’ musical programming is directed by Jeannine Otis, a Staten Island resident, and a longstanding friend of Staten Island OutLOUD.
