Voces Novae et Antiquae's Repertoire
|
 |
The point of this picture? The VNA sound—fresh, precise, and straight-toned—is usually associated with early music, but we have discovered it is equally well suited to the linear and harmonic complexities found in 20th and 21st century repertoire.
|
Voces Novae et Antiquae has a strong ongoing commitment to the presentation of new and rarely-heard musics with American connections, as well as music by women composers. In the thirteen years of our existence, we have presented over sixty world and local premieres. Philadelphia-area composers featured on our concerts have included Andrea Clearfield, Jennifer Higdon, Andrew Bleckner, Scott Robinson, Tina Davidson, Harrison Boyle, Elizabeth Holt, and Artistic Director Robert Ross.
