Women of Valor
Wednesday, February 16, 2022 | 7PM The Church of the Holy Trinity Rittenhouse Having just been visited by the Holy Spirit, old man Simeon was promised he would not see death until he beheld the savior of Israel. Upon meeting and holding Jesus in his arms, Simeon utters the Nunc Dimittis. Komschlies’ setting of the Nunc Dimittis Cantata is a tour de force with chorus, soloists, and baroque orchestra. Paired masterfully with The Magnificat by 17th Century composer nun Sister Isabella Leonarda, this concert shows the intensity of these Women of Valor. |
