I was hoping to hear more contemporary pieces. The first half of the show was all traditional pieces which, of course, were well done, but were performances of "church" type music. The contemporary numbers came after the intermission. They were fabulous.Written on Feb 13 2012

Description
Step into the candlelit sanctuary and prepare to be “carried away” by the other-worldly beauty of this six-voice a capella ensemble in a program of luminous settings of lamentations from Palestrina and Victoria to Robert White - Elizabeth I’s Master of Choristers. The sheer emotional intensity of this music sung by Norway’s leading vocal ensemble will melt away your everyday cares by the time the candles are extinguished and the last notes of Gesualdo’s glorious Misesere are sung in enveloping darkness.
