Jouyssance presents the Election Antidote October 26 and 27 in Westchester and Monrovia

            In an effort to offer distraction from election noise and vitriol, Jouyssance Early Music Ensemble will present a program of Medieval and Renaissance music that will both soothe and amuse its audience.

            The concerts will take place October 26 at 8 p.m., at Holy Nativity Episcopal  Church, 6700 W 83rd St., in Westchester; and October 27 at 4 p.m. at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 122 S. California Ave., Monrovia.

            Jouyssance, conducted by Artistic Director Nicole Baker, will perform works by Palestrina, Victoria. Tallis, Taverner, Cardoso, Dufay, and many others, including P.D.Q. Bach.  The group will also offer a special tribute to Springfield, Ohio.

            Tickets are available in advance at www.jouyssance.org/current-season or at the door, at $25 (General Admission), $20 (Seniors/SCEMS members), or $10 for students with current school ID.

            As part of its educational outreach program, and funded in part by the Colburn Foundation, Jouyssance can offer free admission to members of the American Choral Directors Association, as well as their students.

            Based in Los Angeles, Jouyssance is an auditioned, primarily vocal ensemble dedicated to performing the music of the medieval, Renaissance and early Baroque periods.  For further information, call 213-533-9922 or email
