In this musical menagerie, we take the raw sounds of the world’s musical zoo (a cacophony of squawks, hoots, grunts and snarls), filter them through such noted animal interpreters as Josquin, Weelkes, Janequin, Tchaikovsky, Hindemith, Barber, Taverner and of course, the Beatles, and wrangle them into a concert of concordant delight. Ola Gjeilo’s Unicornis Captivatur, a playful modern take on a mad medieval manuscript, is a highlight. A beastly concert, but also quite heavenly!
