🚨SNEAK PEEK 🚨

TERRA PAPAGALLI features rarely heard and, in many cases, never-before-performed Baroque music from colonial Brazil, bringing vibrant, long-silent music to life through an evening of world premiere dance works.

This full-length concert features original choreography by Artistic Director Christal Wagner alongside DPMKE’s four Artistic Coordinators: Katelyn Altmann, Cuauhtli Ramírez Castro, Ashley Ray Garcia, and Zoe Mei Glise. Together, these artists respond to Brazil’s Baroque soundscape with bold, contemporary movement taking an avian inspired approach to the musical repertoire.

Join us for two performances at the Zelazo Center’s Helen Bader Concert Hall (2419 E. Kenwood Blvd, Milwaukee, WI 53211) on:

REPERTOIRE FEATURE | Antoine Brumel’s Missa “Et ecce terrae motus” (Earthquake Mass)

We will be performing both the Kyrie and Agnus dei movements from this incredible composition. Brumel wrote this Mass with a massive 12-part structure with the intent of voices sounding like tectonic plates colliding.

These two movements really represent the frightening instability and sheer awe that come with natural disasters. This piece was justly popular during his time and we certainly understand why!

This has been a wonderful and rewarding challenge for our singers. The music is incredibly demanding and difficult and it’s an honor for us to sing such a musical phenomenon!!!

Come hear it this weekend at our SAL TERRAE program!

Please enjoy Aperi singing Mother of God, Here I Stand by John Tavener.

This was a piece we sang on our December programme, but thought it a fitting video to share on Maundy Thursday.

You can hear us at our next concert SAL TERRAE on April 18th and 19th. See our website for more details 🕊️

Our final season concert is upon us!

SAL TERRAE | Salt of the Earth

Join APERI for the final concert of their season as they honor Earth Day. Featuring music by Orlande de Lassus, Orlando Gibbons, Frank Ticheli, William Byrd, and more, this program reflects on humility, strength, and resilience as well as explores the dual meaning of “salt of the earth.” Free parking is available at the Lincoln Center for the Arts.

Under the direction of Dr. Paul Thompson, the professional vocal early music ensemble APERI ANIMAM has quickly drawn the attention of early music enthusiasts and organizations across the United States. From its founding in 2017 by performer-scholar Daniel Koplitz (dir. 2017–21), APERI ANIMAM has been praised for its ensemble precision, full-throated vocals, emotional expressivity, and innovative programming.
