What it reported doing in 2024
In fy25 (2024-2025 season), amor artis performed a five-concert season. In addition to continuing its tradition of offering two festive holiday programs in the month of december, the group joined with the professional clarion chamber choir and a full orchestra in october 2024 to perform lesser-known choral works of rachmaninoff at st. Bart's church on park avenue in manhattan. Our december concerts started with "an amor artis holiday" performed to a crowd of approximately 545 and featuring holiday-themed music from many centuries including traditional carols as well as new compositions. The second, an all-bach new year's eve (a 40+ year tradition of amor artis), included the splendid magnificat, the violin concerto in e major and other works and was performed to an audience of approximately 375. The third, performed to a live audience of approximately 565 people (and a large online audience via trinity's streaming) was done in collaboration with trinity church's downtown voices and consisted of three major works for multiple choirs (2, 4 and 8), including frank martin's magnificent mass for double choir and the spem alium for 8 choruses by tallis. Our final concert of the season was o child!, featuring works that celebrated/honored both the lives and deaths of chlldren and their wonderful human nature, featuring david lang's little match girl passion, with an audience of approximately 276.
