In Mulieribus, Portland's celebrated women's vocal ensemble invites you to embrace the transformative power of spring with the upcoming concert — Surrounded in Darkness | Enfolded in Light. This enchanting evening is inspired by the delicate balance between darkness and light, reflecting the seasonal transition from the depths of winter to the illumination of spring. Awaken your senses and uplift your spirit as you experience the music surrounded by the soft glow of candlelight. 

This mesmerizing performance showcases the voices of IM sopranos Catherine van der Salm and Amanda Jane Kelley accompanied by special guests Hannah Brewer (organ) and Adaiha MacAdam-Somer (gamba). The program centers on one of the pinnacle vocal works of the French Baroque with François Couperin's Trois Leçons de Ténèbres (Three Lessons of Darkness). Interspersed between each of the lessons will be works by Sweelinck, Leonora D’Este, Elzéar Genet and Victoria, all navigating through a world of exquisite artistry and poignant storytelling.
