Some of our recent programs:
Winter Nights
As humans have since earliest times, we gather to pass the dark hours with stories, ballads and epic tales–Arachne, The Lady of Shallot, The Walrus and the Carpenter, with music throughout.
Mysterium
With the depths of winter approaching, a sampling of the music of Vasks, Pärt, Arnalds, and Silvestrov.
Light in the Land of Plenty
Music to bury the dying year in the west and birth the next rolling in from the east.
Solstitium
A brief foray into the arcana of the period and then a full array of music of the holidays and the sun.
Gratus Animus
Gratitude, especially for those very most basic things. “Because all that can be taken away in a second.”
La Belle Epoch
The promise and the progress of La Belle Epoch at the dawn of the 20th Century. And the evil that killed it.
The Master
Songs and a brief introduction to The Master and his music, Leonard Cohen on the anniversary of his passing, November 7.
The Glimpse
From Simone Kermes to Patsy Cline, and the truth of an illusion.
Vox Feminae, Part II
The continuation of our survey of women’s voices from earliest times to the present day.
Vox Feminae, Part I
A brief review of the suppression of women’s voices from Western music since earliest times–where it succeeded and where it failed.
