This multi-choir project takes on the rarely-performed “Spem in Alium” (Latin for "Hope in any other") by Thomas Tallis (c. 1505–1585), composed c. 1570. A spectacular motet with eight five-part choruses results in forty distinct lines. Experience this sonic wonder with multiple pop-up up performances taking place: 

• Friday, June 12, 7 PM, First Church Berkeley (before the Musica Pacifica concert)

• Saturday, June 13, 12 PM, First Church Berkeley, Unity Hall Patio at the Exhibition

• Saturday, June 13, 12:30 PM, St Mark’s Episcopal Church in Berkeley (before the Melody of China concert)
