The Thirteen | Quartet Edition
Amy Broadbent, soprano
Kristen Dubenion-Smith, mezzo-soprano
Oliver Mercer, tenor
Gilbert Spencer, baritone
The Thirteen invites audiences to experience our work through the intimate configuration of a vocal quartet, with Artistic Director Matthew Robertson at the piano. The close alliance between nature and music dates to the earliest written treaties of philosophers and composers. In this concert featuring works by Barber, Brahms, Hindemith, Palestrina, and by contemporary masters, The Thirteen presents music on themes of the natural world and on nature as viewed through the kaleidoscope of love, in all its faces: divine, filial, and romantic. In what is sure to be a highlight of our 2025-2026 season, The Thirteen continues our reputation for reimagining the potential of vocal music.
