Music for Sacred Spaces:

Stained Glass Brass performs sacred music that has stood the test of time for the past five centuries. Throughout the liturgical year SGB has been heard at solemn and celebratory official installations, seminary commencements, church holidays, weddings and other festive occasions.

The concert interweaves commentary and personal reflections on the music and its effects on sacred spaces.

Programs feature masterpieces composed for the church by Bach, Beethoven, Britten, Bruckner, Byrd, Gibbons, Holst, Handel, Josquin, di Lasso, Mozart, Palestrina, Praetorius, Rutter, Scheidt, Tallis, Taverner, Vaughn-Williams among many others.
