In these troubled times, it is important to remember that hope is never lost, and love is more vital than ever. We explore these themes for an hour or so, meandering our way through the 17th and 18th centuries. An appropriate entertaininment for Valentine's Day. And before and after the concert a chocolate end fruit reception.
We begin with repeating bass patterns, the common parlance of popular music, less so in art music: Monteverdi describing unrequited love, Purcell commenting on love in the air, experimental violinist Heinrich Biber putting his instrument through its paces as it runs through a whole life cycle, Bach celebrating the happy installation of a new mayor, and the ultra-sophisticated Francois Couperin challening us to explore with good taste.
Then one of a very few well-known women composers Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, a child prodigy noticed by the Sun King Louis IV at age five, followed by a psalm about music by Schutz, a virtuoso recorder concerto by Vivaldi, and finishing with upbeat selections from Bach's Wedding Cantata.
In this program, soprano Rita Lilly is joined by instrumentalists Jonathan Salzedo (harpsichord), Marion Rubinstein (recorders), Laura Jeannin (violin) and Amy Brodo (cell and viola da gamba).
$35 general; $95 family; or you can pay what you wish to pay.
