ROCHESTER, NY (12/10/2012)(readMedia)-- Nazareth College Arts Center is pleased to present an evening of virtuosic ensemble singing by Anonymous 4, featuring medieval and early American holiday music. The performance's medieval compositions will include selections from the British Isles, France, and Spain through the early 15th century; the evening's American music was composed primarily in the 18th century.

Anonymous 4 is celebrating 25 years together. The quartet has twice been voted one of Billboard's top classical artists, and their release, American Angels: Songs of Hope, Redemption & Glory, was one of Amazon's Top 100 Overall Customer Favorites across all categories. Just last week, they were featured on NPR's "Morning Edition."

Marjorie Roth, professor in the Nazareth College Department of Music and a scholar of music history, will lead a pre-performance lecture at 7 p.m. in the Peace Theater (room A14), located in the lower level of the Arts Center.

Tickets to Anonymous 4 are $30-$60.

The Nazareth College Arts Center's 2012-2013 Subscription Series is sponsored by M&T Bank, Wendy's Restaurants of Rochester, and the New York State Council on the Arts. The performance by Anonymous 4 is sponsored by Barbara and John Lovenheim and Larry and Nancy Peckham.
