Dr. Lee Lovallo, director of the Antelope Renaissance Choir, is seeking singers to participate in a concert of music by 16th century composer, Josquin des Prez. The program will consist of Missa Pange lingua (arguably Josquin's most famous mass setting), and the motet, Ave Maria virgo serena. Rehearsals will be held Saturday mornings, 10 to noon, at St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Antelope. For more information, contact Dr. Lovallo at ltlovallo@gmail.com or 916/320-8423.
