Presented by St Marks Church, Washington DC

From the director, Christopher Kendall: 

Paul Schoenfield was one of our era’s rarest and most beguiling composers, a beloved colleague and friend whose loss we are still struggling to fathom. It’s an honor for the 21st Century Consort to offer this tribute to the extraordinary music he “tailored” (his cheap term) for us contemporary performers and audiences. With so much valuable Schoenfield chamber music to choose from, it’s a challenge to home in on a mere program’s worth. We hope this selection provides at least some compass of his singular musical legacy.
