About

"The wonderful Conspirare chamber choir, known for its interpretive depth and other-worldly sonic lushness, offers another of its captivating programs—this time joined by three superb guitar quartets—in a program remarkably relevant to our time.

Conspirare’s 2019 Delos album, The Hope of Loving (DE 3578), was nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for Best Choral

Performance in 2020. That album was given a release party hosted by Classical MPR and ChoralStream. The concert

version of The Singing Guitar was performed to full houses and has been featured, along with interviews, on KUTX

radio. The combination of guitar quartet and chorus is so successful it’s surprising that more composers have not

written for it. Nico Muhly’s How Little You Are, one of four compelling compositions on the album, is accompanied by twelve guitars."
