Caroline Shaw's Partita

Sept 5–7, 2024

Once more into the catacombs, dear friends, once more! Join the genre-fluid series Death of Classical as the a cappella virtuosi of the Fourth Wall Ensemble take possession of the snug, vibrant Arcadian vault cut into the rolling terrain of Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery. For starters, the program segues from improvisations in the style of medieval chant to authentic Renaissance strains from Britain’s William Byrd and Italy’s Claudio Monteverdi. From there, take a leap of faith into the 21st century with Caroline Shaw’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Partita for 8 Voices, in four movements that ring off-the-wall, out-of-the-box, totally exhilarating changes on dance forms beloved of Baroque superstars like J. S. Bach, whose jaw you’ll hear dropping (or is it your own?). —Matthew Gurewitsch
