Embark upon a journey to 16th-century Portugal with music by Vicente Lusitano, the first published Black composer, performed by the UK’s Marian Consort — the world’s leading ensemble for the music of Lusitano! Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to witness the brilliance of this composer only just being re-discovered!
“an intoxicating introduction for the uninitiated” —The Oregonian in “Portland’s can’t-miss classical concerts” list!
“Vicente Lusitano comes to Portland on February 8. We could just say we’re going to hear the music of Lusitano when Cappella Romana brings the Marian Consort to our region. But that doesn’t elevate the 16th-century Black composer enough!” —Oregon Arts Watch
