"Seldom has scholarly sleuthing in dusty corners of early choral music yielded so many miniature treasures. More, please. " – Chicago Classical Review
Bella Voce’s most recent recording and final program of the 2023–2024 season Expanding the Canon is now available as a CD from Centaur Records! The selection features choral works by underrepresented composers of the Renaissance and Baroque, lesser-known works by Palestrina and more.
