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.

ANN MARIE MORGAN
& FRIENDS
“Les voix humaines“
Marin Marais’ amazing piece “Les voix humaines” for bass viol and continuo serves as the inspiration for this program. The viola da gamba has historically been chosen when the sound of the human voice seeks to be represented. Abigail Nims also offers her voice and artistry in Bach’s Aria “Es ist Vollbracht” (St. John Passion) and in Handel’s cantata Lucrezia. We think you’ll voice your praise and appreciation for this wonderful music.

Abigail Nims, mezzo-soprano
