A Different Kind of Summer Sing

Mostly Motets is having a combination concert and sing-along, featuring works by Dufay, Desprez, Tallis, Palestrina, Byrd, Victoria, and others, and does it ever sound like fun.

Here's how it works, from the email I received:

Mostly Motets will first perform each piece with the audience listening. Immediately after that, members of the audience who wish to will be welcome to sing the same piece together with the ensemble. Music selections will range from relatively familiar and easy to more unusual and challenging.
