Palladium Musicum presents world premiere of cantata inspired by stained glass windows of Greenwich's historic St. Bede's Chapel by Robert Sirota with libretto by Victoria Sirota November 6, 2010

Palladium Musicum, Inc., a non-profit Greenwich, CT organization is pleased to announce the world premiere of a new musical work it has commissioned, entitled Holy Women: Lives of the Women Saints in the Stained Glass Windows of St. Bede’s Chapel, composed and conducted by Dr. Robert Sirota with a libretto by the Reverend Canon Victoria Sirota. The premiere will take place at the historic St. Bede’s Chapel. Holy Women is a Cantata for nine singers and chamber ensemble, which tells the stories of the nine women saints represented in St. Bede’s Chapel’s magnificent stained glass windows. The performance will take full advantage of the excellent acoustics of the landmark Chapel, a stunning 1909 architectural jewel designed by Theodore T. Blake, partner in the firm Carrère and Hastings. Palladium Musicum is leading a Greenwich community effort to revive St. Bede’s Chapel as a performance venue.
