Some of our recent programs:
Solstitium
A brief foray into the arcana of the period and then a full array of music of the holidays and the sun.
The Mystery
Richness of sound that defies a tally, with one chilling standout, the oldest Irish poem to come down to us through the ages, The Mystery.
Fifteen Wild Decembers
A Middle Eastern musician visits Leipzig to hear the music of Herr Bach in the early 1700s, a poem by Emily Jane Brontë from the early 1800s, winding up with music of the present.
Viola da Gamba
A one-hour retreat into alpha waves with a look back at the viola da gamba.
Gratus Animus
Gratitude, especially for those very most basic things. “Because all that can be taken away in a second.”
Canada Geese
An hour of music and interesting tidbits on our iconic symbol of November, Canada geese.
