Sub Rosa: Secrets Revealed

Skylark will invite its audience to imagine what might happen if Robert Langdon, acclaimed professor of Symbology at Harvard University (and fictional hero of Dan Brown’s best-selling novels, including The Da Vinci Code), were enlisted to explore hidden symbols, secret codes, and long-forgotten historical connections buried in manuscripts of choral music over the centuries.

Composer Gregory W. Brown‘s music has been heard on American Public Media’s Performance Today, BBC Radio, Minnesota Public Radio, Kansas Public Radio and Danish National Radio; his Missa Charles Darwin received its European debut in March 2013 at the Dinosaur Hall of Berlin’s Museum für Naturkunde. Brown’s works have been performed across the United States and Europe – most notably at Cadogan Hall in London, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Carnegie Hall in New York City. His latest major work – un/bodying/s – was released on Innova Records in early 2018.

The Sub Rosa programs will feature video introductions by Dan Brown alongside stunning new music by Gregory W. Brown.  Skylark will rehearse and debut this program in residence at Phillips Exeter Academy.
