And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones. And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king’s palace, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.

Stay tuned for next time!

ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT!!!
That's right, KSS's 10th anniversary concert is just one week away, Monday, August 21, 7:30PM, St. Josaphat Church.
We will present our gorgeous Song of Songs program, Sacred and Profane Love. The combination of the beautiful and evocative poetry of the Old Testament Song of Solomon, the musical genius of the great composers of the 15th and 16th centuries, the acoustics and aesthetics of St. Josaphat, and the musicianship of the ensemble promise a truly rewarding musical evening.
Look forward to seeing all of you!

What's a few years among friends?
DON'T MISS OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT!!!
Monday, August 21, at 7:30pm at beautiful St. Josaphat Church.
For the occasion, we are reprising our very first program, Sacred and Profane Love, a concert of Renaissance polyphony and chant on Song of Songs texts. The beautiful and evocative poetry of this most sensual and earthly of Old Testament books inspired the musical geniuses of the 15th and 16th centuries to write some of the most ravishing music ever composed for human voices. The ensemble will perform examples of exquisite Song of Songs settings by some of the beloved masters of sacred Renaissance polyphony (such as Palestrina) but also by many lesser known but equally inspired composers (such as Heinrich Isaac and Cipriano de Rore).
Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $20 ($10 for students).
Hope to see you there!
