SCHEDULE
VoA Renaissance - Netherlands | Voices of Ascension
Gabrielle will perform with NYC Choral ensemble Voices of Ascension for their spring concert, VoA Renaissance - Netherlands.
Arguably the richest repertoire of a cappella choral music from the “Golden Age of Choral Music.” This program features one great work after another from more than two centuries of history, starting with the absolute summit of Early Renaissance masters, Josquin des Prez, and going all the way to the High Renaissance works of Orlande de Lassus. Also featured are seldom heard, but exceptionally poetic and colorful motets of Dutch composer, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck.
BlackBox at DiMenna Center | BlackBox Ensemble
Gabrielle will perform with BlackBox Ensemble in their season closer concert. She will perform as the mezzo-soprano soloist in the NY premiere of Paul Novak’s a diagnosis, a work which she previously workshopped at the Aspen Music Festival and School in 2024.
