Music of Resilience and Rebirth in the Judeo-Baroque
MIRYAM & Les Enfants d’Orphée: Alicia DePaolo, soprano; Hilary Anne Walker, mezzo-soprano; Corey Hart, tenor; Henry Clapp, bass; Na’ama Lion, flute; Emily Hale, violin; Shirley Hunt, viola da gamba; Nathaniel Cox, theorbo
MIRYAM Baroque Ensemble joins Les Enfants d'Orphée for a celebration of Jewish baroque music in 17th century Europe, from the synagogues of Carpentras and Bordeaux to the cosmopolitan Portuguese Esnoga of Amsterdam, and from the Jewish Scuola of Mantua to the King’s Chapel in Paris. These communities united members of different Jewish traditions, including Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Italki, and Judeo-Contadin, who were also deeply immersed in their secular cultures around them. Their music demonstrates how these composers negotiated their place in their surrounding culture while also expressing their identity as Jews, both reveling in the vibrancy of Jewish life and nodding to darker stories of persecution, exclusion, and expulsion. These rarely-heard works offer stories of communal resilience and rebirth that remain relevant today.

In Dirges Sad Delight - Virtual Premiere
Memento Mori: Sarah Coffman, soprano & viola da gamba; Charles Iner, lute
In Dirges Sad Delight is a rumination on death, on sorrow, on what lies beyond this material veil. The poets and composers of 17th-century England returned time and again to these themes, through both sacred and secular works, examining the purgation of the soul at its passing, and the effects of death upon those still living. In this program, Memento Mori offers works by Dowland, Danyel, Campion, Coprario, and other luminaries of the English Renaissance in a mournful reverie realized by the voice, the lute, and the viol. Experience catharsis and solace as we walk up against the barrier between nature and mortality.
8pm EDT - on YouTube. Free to watch, with donations welcome and encouraged. https://www.sohipboston.org/support-sohip

“Conversation Galante – A Courteous Conversation" Jewels of the French Baroque
Crescendo: Rodrigo Tarraza, traverso, Christine Gevert, harpsichord, and Hideki Yamaya, theorbo, with guest performer Gina Allende, viola da gamba (Chile).
This concert recreates the experience of what was considered to be one of the highest privileges: hearing a small ensemble of highly qualified musicians in an intimate setting, performing music from the golden era of Baroque chamber music in France. One of the favorite instruments of the Sun-King Louis XIV, the Baroque flute, or traverso, became the most popular wind instrument of the royal court in Paris, the cultural center of Europe. This program showcases some of the most sophisticated and graceful flute solo and ensemble works by François Couperin (his “Concert Royeaux II”), Jacques-Martin Hotteterre, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, Michel de la Barre, Antoine Dornel, Robert De Visée, and Henry D’Anglebert. All audience members, staff, and performers must show proof of being fully vaccinated, and must remain properly masked once inside the performance venue. These policies are subject to change. Access online ticket sales and the full Covid precaution policy in the most updated version on Crescendo’s website. This concert has been made possible in part with support from the Connecticut Office of the Arts, which also receives funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

The Lonesome Touch: Solo Bach and the Music of East Clare
Julia Connor, violin
"The lonesome touch" is a common moniker for the East Clare Irish music tradition, which is considered the oldest surviving regional folk music style in Ireland. Characterized by slower tempi, prevalence of minor keys and modes, and sparse ornamentation, this music has been passed down aurally for hundreds of years. This program for solo violin brings together traditional dance tunes from East Clare and J.S. Bach's d minor partita, interspersing sets of Clare tunes between movements of Bach. Juxtaposing the dance sets with the dance-inspired movements of Bach casts each in a new light, highlighting the dance origins of the Bach while inviting audiences to consider the artistry, nuance, and deep understanding of tradition that go into a compelling fiddle performance.

The Recorder Alone
Emily O'Brien, recorders
The recorder is traditionally primarily an ensemble instrument–-but what do you do with a wind instrument during an airborne pandemic? This program explores several ways that the recorder may play unaccompanied: music where the bass line is explicitly optional; ways that a single player may cover multiple lines; and original unaccompanied repertoire. In this program, virtuoso musician Emily O’Brien borrows from the stringed instrument works of Ortiz and Bach, the wind repertoire of Bassano and Boismortier, and she’ll present the premiere of a new work by Michael O'Brien for the solo recorder that commemorates our collective emergence from the pandemic.
8pm - St. Anne's in the Fields, 147 Concord Rd. Lincoln, MA
$25 General Admission / $20 Students & Seniors. Masks and proof of vaccination required.

Music of Resilience and Rebirth in the Judeo-Baroque - Virtual Premiere
MIRYAM & Les Enfants d’Orphée: Alicia DePaolo, soprano; Hilary Anne Walker, mezzo-soprano; Corey Hart, tenor; Henry Clapp, bass; Na’ama Lion, flute; Emily Hale, violin; Shirley Hunt, viola da gamba; Nathaniel Cox, theorbo
MIRYAM Baroque Ensemble joins Les Enfants d'Orphée for a celebration of Jewish baroque music in 17th century Europe, from the synagogues of Carpentras and Bordeaux to the cosmopolitan Portuguese Esnoga of Amsterdam, and from the Jewish Scuola of Mantua to the King’s Chapel in Paris. These communities united members of different Jewish traditions, including Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Italki, and Judeo-Contadin, who were also deeply immersed in their secular cultures around them. Their music demonstrates how these composers negotiated their place in their surrounding culture while also expressing their identity as Jews, both reveling in the vibrancy of Jewish life and nodding to darker stories of persecution, exclusion, and expulsion. These rarely-heard works offer stories of communal resilience and rebirth that remain relevant today.
8pm EDT - on YouTube. Free to watch, with donations welcome and encouraged. https://www.sohipboston.org/support-sohip
Video remains available for later viewing.
