Cantos y Suspiros
Xacarilla: Camila Parias, soprano, Christa Patton, harp, Jason Priset, guitar, Heloise Degrugillier, recorder, Dan Meyers, percussion
Xacarilla explores the sumptuous sound world of 17th-c. Spanish songs and dances. “Cantos y Suspiros” tells of the pleasures and treacheries of love as depicted in nature by the birds, wind, sea, and forest. This rich poetic landscape is illuminated by the music of master composers Juan Hidalgo, Juan de Návas, José Marín, Cristóbal Galán, Santiago de Murcia, Diego Fernández de Huete, and others. Selected songs from a collection held at the Hispanic Society of America in New York City round out the program. Colombian soprano Camila Parias’ crystalline tone joins eloquent plucked strings, plaintive winds, and colorful percussion to bring to life these rarely-heard love songs.
7:30pm - Lindsey Chapel at Emmanuel Church, 15 Newbury St. Boston, MA
Tickets $35/25/15/5

Blistering Passions
Kim Leeds, mezzo-soprano, Dani Zanuttini-Frank, lute
Kim Leeds and Dani Zanuttini-Frank make their SoHIP debut with a compelling program of English and Italian music that explores imagery of burning love and icy rejection. Lute songs of the 17th century prominently feature these amorous themes, often through surprising allegories of pastoral idylls, militaristic conquests, and discordant bodily organs. Across its different allegorical incarnations, love pushes our 17th century poets to the physical breaking point: blazing heat and bitter cold express love's blistering sensation throughout this program. The duo performs works by Girolamo Frescobaldi, Barbara Strozzi, Francesca Caccini, Henry Purcell, William Lawes, and others.
7:30pm - St. Anne's Episcopal Church, 147 Concord Rd. Lincoln, MA
