The San Diego Early Music Society is thrilled to welcome back Stile Antico for the performance of their program "Palestrina in the Eternal City." The wonderful twelve-piece vocal ensemble will celebrate both its 20th season and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina’s 500th birthday. The program explores the music Palestrina would have sung at the Sistine Chapel, the changes in his style demanded by the Counter-Reformation, his tragic personal life, and his influence on his successors. The repertoire is sumptuous, including several of Palestrina’s most beloved and timeless motets, gems by other leading composers active in Rome. The concert will be held at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church on April 5th at 7:30 p.m. Tickets and additional information are available on the society’s website.

This year’s headliner is Terry Reid ‘Superlungs’ as he’s affectionately known, is without doubt one of the greatest rock/soul voices Great Britian has ever produced or is indeed likely to. A Terry Reid concert should be a cherished memory for any self-respecting fan of the greats of British music. Terry turned down the front man’s job with Led Zeppelin, recommending his mate Robert Plant instead, a similar offer and rebuff to Deep Purple. Aretha Franklin’s stated that The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Terry Reid were the best England had to offer in 1968. He underwent two World Tours with The Rolling Stones, US tours with Cream, UK tours with Jethro Tull and Fleetwood Mac, The Isle of White Festival in 1969 and Glastonbury in 1970, played at Mick Jagger’s wedding, before soured record deals resulted in Terry leaving Britain for America nearly 40 years ago. Unplugged fans can catch their favorite artists while exploring the many local businesses along the Adams Avenue corridor. In addition to the numerous drinking and dining options along the avenue, attendees may also prefer the VIP craft beer garden located at the Normal Heights United Church next to the Main Stage (4650 Mansfield St).
