Angelus will travel to North and South Carolina from July 14-21, 2013 presenting concerts in Boone, Spartanburg, Simpsonville, Columbia, Pawleys Island and Charleston.

Whether the stark beauty of an 11th century chant, the rich harmonic language of a contemporary Irish work or the rusticism of a Sacred Harp tune, Angelus finds its voice in the wide range of sacred works it performs. Completely unique among American high school ensembles, Angelus is dedicated to the performance of sacred music of varied religious traditions and historical periods. Angelus is comprised of six young women who perform music ranging from medieval chant and polyphony to the American Sacred Harp tradition as well as contemporary American and Irish works.

Concerts are slated for July 15, 7:00 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church (Boone, NC), July 16, 7:00 at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church (Spartanburg), July 17 Anglican Church of St. George the Martyr (Simpsonville), July 18, 7:00 at St. Timothy’s Episcopal (Columbia), July 19, 7:00 at Holy Cross Faith Memorial Episcopal Church (Pawleys Island) and July 21, 3:00 at Church of the Holy Communion (Charleston).
