About This Cause
Amor Artis is an elite chamber chorus dedicated to illuminating the relationships between Renaissance, Baroque, and Contemporary music. It gained renown as a pioneer of the early music revival in the U.S. and for performing Baroque masterworks in period-instrument style. It has performed and recorded a great range of standard and lesser-known repertoire, and has premiered many important works for New York audiences. It commissions new pieces and revives old ones. It performs four concerts annually, typically in collaboration with the city’s finest instrumentalists. It comprises both professionals and skilled amateurs, united in their devotion to an art that will outlive them. Amor Artis has issued more than fifty recordings, spanning works of five centuries, and has won five Record-of-the-Year awards from Stereo Review. It has recorded on seven labels and has performed in the city’s most important concert halls. It has toured Europe many times and performed in more than twenty countries. It has also served as the choir in residence for three prominent Manhattan churches. Amor Artis has always given wide scope to the meaning of its name—love of art. A single season of concerts is enough to suggest the path-breaking richness of its programming: The group commemorated the 90th anniversary of Leonard Bernstein’s birth in a sold-out concert at the Jewish Museum (praised by The New Yorker); performed the first part of the Messiah in a “rush hour” concert at a church near Grand Central Station (praised by The New York Times); and helped celebrate Rossini’s 150th birthday with selections from his best-loved operas—all within the space of a few weeks. It is an institution New Yorkers look to for solace and meaning. When memorials were held in Yankee Stadium and St. Patrick’s Cathedral after 9/11, Amor Artis was there, making music with renowned musicians from around the world. In September 2015, it joined Camerata New York to perform a concert in honor of Pope Francis's first visit to New York City. For more than 30 years it has performed an all-Bach program for hundreds of people on New Year's Eve.
