Celestial Visions of Medieval Britain
Boston Camerata (Mara Winter, guest director)
This program will explore the connection between earthly and celestial forces as expressed in some distinct, compelling visions. Wind player and composer Mara Winter will lead Camerata through musings on humankind’s relationship to the universe, the mystery of creation, and the magic of the natural world, sung in all three of medieval Britain’s literary languages: Latin, English and French. The essential role of instruments in the musical fabric of medieval Britain will also featured, with originally composed instrumental monophony performed in the high medieval style, blending playfully from traditional forms of instrumental music that survive today in the British Isles.“We will travel in an arc through each of these visions and allegory to contemplate the role which the natural world plays in representing the celestial spheres at play on Earth, the moving and unmoving spheres of the cosmos” says Mara. An exciting chance to see the wonderful work of our close team under a new guest leadership!

Birds of a Feather
Sarasa Ensemble: Christina Day Martinson, Megumi Stohs Lewis, violins; Jenny Stirling, viola; Jennifer Morsches, piccolo cello; Timothy Merton, cello; Maggie Cole, harpsichord
J.S. Bach owed part of his creative inspiration to the 17th-century’s Stylus phantasticus, a method that sought freedom of form and expression, especially in instrumental works. This program explores several composers who embraced this approach. With a flourishing send-off in the finale of our 25th anniversary year, birds of a feather include Rosenmüller, Reincken, Westhoff, Schmelzer, Scheidt, and Bach, with his sparkling harpsichord concerto in E major.

Love and Libations: Julie Pinel and Airs of France
La Donna Musicale: Daniela Tosic, mezzo-soprano, Fausto Miro, tenor, Na’ama Lion, flute, Julia Connor, violin, Katherine Shao, keyboards, Laury Gutiérrez, viola da gamba
La Donna Musicale explores the distinctive secular contributions of women composers from Paris to the French Baroque and Rococo genres of airs sérieux and airs à boire (serious and drinking songs). These song forms celebrate passionate longing and dissolute intoxication. From Julie Pinel (fl. 1737), our featured composer, we include several selections from her 1737 publication, Nouveau recueil d’airs. We will also perform music composed by unknown Parisian women and by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre. This program highlights the luxuriant environment of an intimate Parisian salon, replete with the sounds of voices in solo, duo, and trio settings, along with flute accompaniment and supported by the captivating tones of the harpsichord and viola da gamba.
