On Saturday, August 16, at 7:30 pm, the critically-acclaimed vocal ensemble His Majesty’s Men will perform in concert at St Ita’s Church, 5500 North Broadway in Chicago. The concert will be free admission and freewill offering.
The ensemble of five men will perform “A Choral Meditation”, a one-hour program of music by Dufay, Byrd, Victoria, Palestrina, Nowakowski, Adams, Moore, McCoy, and an anonymous piece from 13thcentury Ireland sung in ancient Gaelige.
His Majesty’s Men was founded in 2016 by countertenor and Chicago native Richard Childress, who lives and works in Great Britain. The other singers in the group are also busy professionals and come from Chicago, New York and Washington D.C.
The Men appear every summer in the Midwest.
