Start the weekend right with great music in a relaxed setting
Welcome to our fourteenth season!
We have a great line-up of concerts for our fourteenth season—welcoming back some of our favorite artists and meeting musicians new to our Happy Hour series. Along the way there will be a chance to hear what may be familiar pieces from the Early Music and Baroque repertoire, but they’ll also be plenty of opportunities to discover fresh compositions that will expand your musical horizons. What’s best—all of it is gorgeous music to lift our spirits and deepen our sense of wonder and beauty in the world. You can click here to see a full listing of our amazing season. We think you’ll be excited by the line-up, and we look forward to seeing you at a concert soon, or having you join us online.

VIENTOS Y CUERDAS
“Tristalegria!”
The inaugural program “Tristalegría!” from the ensemble Vientos y Cuerdas features both Spanish music and traditional tunes of the Sephardic diaspora from the Medieval to the early Baroque eras. Join us for a musical journey exploring diversely rich Spanish dances, soulful songs from the Cantigas de Santa Maria, and Judeo-Spanish tunes that tell stories of resilience, love, and the vibrant cultural memory of the exile of the Jews from the Iberian Peninsula. The vibrant and energetic works of Ortiz, Cabezón, de la Torre, and others will be interspersed with alluring, intimate, and improvisatory Sephardic tunes.
The Performers
Jennifer Carpenter – recorders, bagpipe, and percussion
Ann Marie Morgan – gambas and voice
Keith Barnhart – plucked instruments and percussion
