The Prince of Music: Josquin Desprez

Presented by St. David of Wales concerts

Josquin Desprez (c.1455 - 27 August 1521)

During his lifetime Michelangelo was called “the Josquin of sculpture”. Perhaps it is a measure not only the increased prestige of what was then considered handiwork, but of the usual bounds of our musical memory that makes modern writers reverse the complement and call Josquin's Ave Maria the Mona Lisa of music. Join us in celebrating the legacy of the Prince of Music, still famous after 501 years!

St David's (between the Solano and McBryde exits from I-80) is a large and well ventilated church. Nonetheless we request that masks be worn indoors.
