For ​over ​two ​decades,​ ​the ​vocal ​ensemble ​Musica ​Spei ​(Music ​of Hope) ​has ​worked ​collaboratively ​without ​a ​conductor ​to ​bring ​choral ​masterworks ​of ​the Medieval ​and ​Renaissance ​periods ​to ​audiences ​in ​western ​New ​York. ​Whether ​it’s ​a sacred ​mass, ​Gregorian ​chant,​ ​a ​motet ​on ​a ​single ​verse ​of ​ancient ​scripture,​ ​a ​lovelorn French ​chanson, ​or ​Medieval ​mystery ​play,​ ​Musica ​Spei ​has ​sought ​to ​restore ​life ​to timeless ​music ​that ​continues ​to ​resonate ​with ​modern ​listeners.

-Each ​year, ​in ​fall, ​spring, ​and ​during ​Lent,​ ​Musica ​Spei ​offers ​concerts ​in ​Rochester ​and neighboring ​cities. ​Musica ​Spei ​continues ​its ​service ​to ​the ​Rochester-area ​musical community ​by ​coordinating ​the ​annual ​Rochester ​Early ​Music ​Festival ​each ​fall ​and ​by offering ​a ​series ​of ​informal ​“sings” ​at ​St. ​Anne ​Church ​each ​summer.
