You might look at the standards on this program and miss the sizzle. First, this will be the debut of Madrigalia's dynamic new music director, Lee Wright. Second, jazz pianist Tony Caramia will stream in like fresh air, and third, the program will highlight mystical texts by Hildegard of Bingenin in new settings by Rochester composer Justin Wallace. Centered around the tuneful "Flower Songs" of Benjamin Britten and Eric Whitacre, the program includes works by Bernstein, Gershwin, and Rutter, as well as gems by Brahms, Stanford, and Camille Saint-Saëns. (Fri 8 p.m., St Anne's Church, 1600 Mt Hope Ave/Sun 4 p.m., Downtown Presbyterian Church, 121 N Fitzhugh St.)
