Centuries of Sound

Presented by Aeternum Choir

Embark on a choral journey across nine centuries of music with professional chamber choir, Aeternum. You’ll travel through time and across cultures, from the serenity of medieval chant to the rich harmonies of the Romantic era and contemporary favorites. Along the way, you'll travel across Italy, Spain, England, Germany, Russia, Austria, and the United States, exploring both favorite masterworks and rarely performed gems.

Performed by singers drawn from leading choirs in the US and UK, Centuries of Sound celebrates both the extraordinary expressive power of the human voice and the legacy of music building upon itself across centuries.

For this program, Aeternum joins forces with saxophonist Andrew Harrison, finalist for San Francisco Classical Voice’s 2025 Audience Choice Award for Favorite Instrumental Soloist.
