Music of Resilience and Rebirth in the Judeo-Baroque
MIRYAM & Les Enfants d’Orphée: Alicia DePaolo, Elise Groves, sopranos; Corey Hart, tenor; Ian Pomerantz, 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.

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.
