This season, LJRS presents...

PRIMARILY PRAETORIUS

Tired of "Mainly Mozart", "Basically Bach", "Strictly Stravinsky"? This holiday season, join the La Jolla Renaissance Singers for Primarily Praetorius, a sampler of sacred music from the early German Baroque. Featured composers include Hieronymus Praetorius (1560-1629), his son Jacob Praetorius II (1586-1651), and the most famous Praetorius of all (but no relation): Michael (1571-1621). The program will include both original motets and arrangements of popular German hymns and carols.
