In their New York debut, Eybler Quartet gives the U.S. premieres of Pedro Ximénez de Abrill Tirado’s Quartet, Op.55, written in the 1820s in Arequipa, whose slow movement is based on an traditional Andean yaravi.

Around 500 texts survive from the “golden age of the English carol,” from around 1350 to 1550.  Piffaro won’t attempt to perform all of them but their annual holiday program will provide a broad sample, from the reverent to the raucous.  The unique sounds of Piffaro's Renaissance instruments will be paired with an audience favorite, soprano Nell Snaidas, tenor Karim Sulayman, winner of 2019’s GRAMMY for Best Classical Solo Vocal Album for his debut album, Songs of Orpheus, and lutenist…

Celebrate the season with one of the brightest musical jewels of early-Baroque Germany: Heinrich Schütz’s The Christmas Story. We are thrilled to welcome back internationally-acclaimed English tenor Charles Daniels in the role of the Evangelist, together with a gloriously colourful band of recorders, cornetti, sackbuts, violins, violas da gamba, keyboards and theorbos. This Yuletide, step back in time and experience an endearing telling of the Christmas story, along with music by Schein, Scheidt and Praetorius.

Sopranos Tess Altiveros and Danielle Sampson join Stephen Stubbs and the Pacific MusicWorks Band for a delightfully different holiday treat.
