This fall, Tucson Masterworks Chorale brings the Renaissance to life with soaring sacred music and spirited madrigals. At the heart of the program is Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli — a masterpiece of choral beauty that once shaped the course of Western music. Step into a world of timeless harmony, where every voice tells a story.
