Emmanuel Episcopal Church

Tuesdays at Six

Tuesdays at Six is a monthly chamber music series, presented by Music at Emmanuel. Featuring some of the Baltimore area's premier musicians, each program begins at 6:00 p.m., lasts roughly one hour, and is preceded by a complimentary happy-hour reception.

The word polyphony describes many independent voices interwoven in harmony—and this is the essence of <a href="https://thepolyphonists.com" title="https://thepolyphonists.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Polyphonists</a>, four critically-acclaimed soloists who unite to create music transcending individual artistry. National Finalists for the 2023 American Prize in Chamber Music Performance, this exceptional vocal quartet has rapidly cultivated a devoted following across the nation and remains a perennial favorite of Emmanuel audiences. This concert features a collection of water-themed works, including Darius Milhaud's mesmerizing 1936 Cantique du Rhône—a voluptuous, spellbinding musical love poem to the river in France. Set to text of Paul Claudel, this enchanting piece weaves rich, anachronistic imagery of ravishment and conquest into its captivating composition.<ul><li><a href="https://www.amy-broadbent.com" title="https://www.amy-broadbent.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Amy Broadbent</a>, soprano</li><li><a href="https://sylvialeith.com" title="https://sylvialeith.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sylvia Leith</a>, mezzo-soprano</li><li><a href="https://www.matthewhilltenor.com" title="https://www.matthewhilltenor.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Matthew Hill</a>, tenor</li><li><a href="https://www.edmundmilly.com" title="https://www.edmundmilly.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Edmund Milly</a>, bass-baritone</li></ul>Note: A complimentary pre-concert welcome reception begins at 5:30 p.m. Please join us!
