SUMMARY:Eternity and the Underworld
DESCRIPTION:This program sets old against new\, the promise of everlasting peace against the frustration of unfulfilled dreams. Bach’s meditation on death in Cantata 82 depicts the great beyond as a peaceful refuge. One of his best-known vehicles for solo voice\, Ich habe genug also blends the melancholy sound of the Baroque oboe with accompanying strings\, to magical effect. In contrast\, Jonathan Dove’s L’altra Eurydice (The Other Eurydice) transports us to the underworld\, from which Pluto exposes the treachery of humanity in a remarkable chamber opera for bass-baritone plus a mix of period and modern instruments. Ars Lyrica’s provocative new staging of both works will provide plenty of food for thought about the next world. \n  \nEternity and the Underworld \n11/13/21 at 7:30 pm \nZilkha Hall\, The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts \nConcert broadcast presented on YouTube \n  \nOn the program: \nJ.S. Bach\, Ich habe genug\, BWV 82 \nJonathan Dove\, L’altra Euridice (2001) \n  \nFeaturing: \nMeg Bragle\, mezzo-soprano \nDouglas Williams\, baritone \nTara Faircloth\, stage director \n  \nSeason Subscriptions ($148-$420): https://my.thehobbycenter.org/packages  \n  \nDigital Subscriptions ($120): https://www.arslyricahouston.org/purchase/2122ds  \n  \nIn-Person Single Tickets ($25-$75): https://my.thehobbycenter.org/4830  \n  \nNote: The online concert broadcast of this performance is only available to in-person and digital subscribers. No Digital Single Event Passes are available.

SUMMARY:Crossing Borders
DESCRIPTION:Crossing Borders explores a crucial moment in the musical history of the New World: when European musical traditions began to mingle with indigenous musical practices.

Musical selections by Roque Ceruti\, José Duran\, Antonio de Salazar\, Manuel Joseph Quiroz\, Sebastián Duron and others illustrate the multiple and creative ways music traverses cultural and national borders. \n  \nThe in-person performance of Crossing Borders is presented to our six-concert subscribers only.

SUMMARY:An Uncommon Chevalier
DESCRIPTION:This program transports us to a lively Parisian concert hall in the mid 1780s\, just before the Revolution changed everything. An accomplished composer\, violinist\, conductor\, fencer\, and dancer\, Joseph de Bologne became the toast of Paris in the early 1770s. The son of a plantation owner and an African slave\, the younger mixed-race Bologne acquired the title Chevalier de Saint-Georges thanks to Louis XV\, in whose personal guard he briefly served\, and eventually became a favorite of Marie Antoinette. The program features a tuneful violin concerto from Saint-Georges\, a comparable work from a contemporary\, and a symphony commissioned by the Chevalier. \n  \nAn Uncommon Chevalier \n3/27/22 at 2:30 pm \nZilkha Hall\, The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts \nConcert broadcast presented on YouTube \n  \nOn the program: \nJoseph de Bologne\, Violin Concerto in D Major\, Op. 3 No. 1 \nW.A.

SUMMARY:Dido and Aeneas
DESCRIPTION:Universal stories often revolve around impossible choices between love and duty\, hatred and desire\, will and destiny. The consequences of such turning points are both beautiful and tragic in opera especially. The 2021/22 Ars Lyrica season concludes with a new production of the first masterpiece of English opera. Henry Purcell\, early modern England’s greatest musical dramatist\, infused his chosen texts with both beauty and pathos. His Dido and Aeneas is a miracle of operatic economy\, with lively dancing\, memorable choruses\, and at its center a noble heroine who loves too well: her demise is both tragic and transcendent. \n  \nDido and Aeneas \n5/21/22 at 7:30 pm and 5/22/22 at 2:30 pm \nZilkha Hall\, The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts \nConcert broadcast presented on YouTube (5/22/22) \n  \nOn the program: \nHenry Purcell\, Dido and Aeneas \n  \nFeaturing: \nAbigail Fisher\, Dido \nMark Diamond\, Aeneas \nLauren Snouffer\, Belinda  \nNicholas Garza\, Sorceress \nThe New York Baroque Dance Company \nCatherine Turocy\, stage director & choreographer \nThe Moores School Concert Chorale \nBetsy Weber\, choral preparation \n  \nSeason Subscriptions ($148-$420): https://my.thehobbycenter.org/packages  \n  \nDigital Subscriptions ($120): https://www.arslyricahouston.org/purchase/2122ds  \n  \nIn-Person Single Tickets ($25-$75): https://my.thehobbycenter.org/overview/4820  \n  \nDigital Single Event Passes ($20): Coming soon

SUMMARY:The Well-Tempered Clavier at Rienzi: Concert 2
DESCRIPTION:Rienzi is a jewel in the crown of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.
