New York Polyphony: From the Gyffard Partbooks

This page is for in-person tickets. For digital livestream tickets, click HERE.

Concerts at Saint Thomas welcomes the four-part ensemble New York Polyphony for an evening of antiphons, motets, and responsories taken from the Gyffard Partbooks and the Eton Choirbook. These manuscripts are among the few collections of Latin liturgical music to have survived the Reformation, with much of the music unheard and unrecorded.
