SUMMARY:Friederike Otto - Cornetto
DESCRIPTION:Flourishing \nThe Art of the Cornetto \nTickets on sale now \nA special concert featuring renowned German cornettist Friederike Otto on this rare and fascinating instrument and Vancouver-based Christina Hutten on harpsichord and organ. \nA kind of hybrid between a woodwind and a brass instrument\, the cornetto was prized for its tremendous expressive flexibility\, very like a fine human voice. This is a rare opportunity to hear one of the world’s foremost cornetto players\, Friederike Otto\, who is a member of the Lautten Compagney Berlin and Capella de la Torre. Otto will be joined by Christina Hutten on organ and harpsichord for a program of music that is both lyrical and florid by composers including Heinrich Schütz and Claudio Monteverdi. \nFriederike Otto is one of the few professional cornetto players. Starting at the age of 13\, she studied Early Music/ Cornetto at the Conservatories in Leipzig and Lyon with Arno Paduch\, Jean-Pierre Canihac and William Dongois. Since then she has been performing with various ensembles all over the world. She is a member of the prize winning Lautten Compagney Berlin with whom she explores also contemporary and popular music. Numerous recordings with different ensembles\, such as Johann-Rosenmüller-Ensemble\, Dresdner Barockorchester or Capella Sagittariana document her work. Currently she takes part in the complete recording of Heinrich Schütz music with Hans-Christoph Rademann. Together with the RIAS Kammerchor and as member of Capella de la Torre she recorded the CD “Da pacem” that won the Echo Klassik prize in 2017. \nAs an organist and harpsichordist Christina Hutten has presented recitals in Canada\, the United States\, and Europe\, including performances in concert series hosted by the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam\, the Hooglandsekerk in Leiden\, Early Music Vancouver\, the Universities of British Columbia and Calgary\, and others. She performs regularly with Pacific Baroque Orchestra and has appeared as concerto soloist with the Okanagan Symphony\, the Vancouver Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra\, and the Arizona State University Chamber Orchestra. Christina is also an enthusiastic teacher. She coordinates the early music ensembles at the University of British Columbia and has given masterclasses and workshops at institutions including the Victoria Baroque Summer Program\, Brandon University\, the University of Manitoba\, Wilfrid Laurier University\, Canada’s National Music Centre in Calgary\, and the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute. Funded by a generous grant from the Canada Council for the Arts\, she pursued private organ studies in Europe. Christina obtained a master’s degree in Organ Performance from Arizona State University and an Advanced Certificate in Harpsichord Performance from the University of Toronto. \nProgram: \n \nStudents and youth admitted free at the door.

SUMMARY:The Tallis Scholars (UK)
DESCRIPTION:Darkness to Light \nA very special joint presentation with Christ Church Cathedral\, featuring the pre-eminent interpreters of Renaissance polyphony on their triumphant 50th Anniversary Tour. \nTickets for this event are now on sale.\n \n(Please note\, this special concert is not eligible for the Flex Pass.) \nDescription: \nThe journey behind this program is an obvious one at this time of year. We proceed from the darkness associated with Lent to the hope and joy which is Easter in the Christian calendar. We start with the mood of Lent\, beautifully captured in these two English settings of the Lamentations (White and Tallis)\, with their intense settings of the traditional words of complaint\, offset by the greater reflection provided by the Hebrew letters which punctuate the text (Caph\, Lamed and Mem in the White). \nIn the second half of the concert we join in worship of Jesus and Mary as they fulfill the Easter prophecy: Jesus in Parsons’s magnificent setting of O bone Jesu; Mary in the Ave Maria and Regina caeli settings. The message of these pieces is then summed up in the complete cycle of Byrd’s Propers for Easter Day – five motets which take us through the drama of the Crucifixion. Listen out for the fourth one\, where in no more than a minute Byrd describes in music the shaking of the earth when Christ died – Terra tremuit.– Peter Phillips \nProgram: \nRobert White Lamentations IIRobert White Exaudiat teThomas Tallis Lamentations II \nIntermission \nRobert Parsons O bone JesuRobert Parsons Ave MariaRobert White Regina caeliWilliam Byrd Easter PropersResurrexiHaec diesVictimae paschaliTerra tremuitPascha nostrum

SUMMARY:Ensemble Mirabilia (MONTREAL)
DESCRIPTION:L’Eterno Ritorno \nGet Tickets > \nBrilliant Canadian soprano\, Myriam Leblanc is featured in a program devoted to that most captivating and tuneful Baroque musical form: the chaconne. \nBuilt on ostinato basses\, grounds\, chaconnes and passacaglia have inspired most composers since the 16th century and have allowed the generation of hundreds of arias and instrumental pieces.\n \nThe improvised character of this dance allows within the same piece to cross all the times\, all kinds of characters and various weather conditions. One of the peculiarities of this genre is its decidedly sensual aspect\, with its roots in popular tradition\, the repeated bass causing a certain trance. \nProgram: \nClaudio Monteverdi\, Quel sgardo sdegnosetto \, ciaccona.Giovanni Legrenzi\, Lumi potete piangere (La divisione del mondo).Benedetto Marcello\, Che Inviolabile.Antonio Vivaldi\, Piango\, Gemo.Anonyme\, Tarentelle\, La Carpinese.Antonio Caldara\, Chiacona en Sib Majeur pour 2 dessus et b.c.Antonio Cesti\, Addio Corindo.G.

SUMMARY:Crossing the Andes - cancelled
DESCRIPTION:** CANCELLED **\nWe regret that we have had to cancel this event\, due to an unresolvable scheduling conflict on the part of the artists. We hope to reschedule the event some time in the future.\nSPECIAL EVENT\nConstantinople (MONTREAL)\nJonatan Alvarado (ARGENTINA)\nFederico Tarazone (PERU)\n\n \nThis concert explores the juxtaposition of indigenous South American musical traditions with the ‘new’ repertoire introduced by the European colonizers in the 16th\, 17th\, and 18th centuries. The two main sources used to explore this repertoire are The Trujillo Codex from Peru and the Codice Luz y Norte published in Madrid but written in Mexico. The charango and pan flutes featured in this concert are played by virtuoso Federico Tarazone from Peru. The charango is a small guitar with five double strings that looks like a Spanish bandurria and is one of the most popular Andean musical instruments. Its resonator\, which is rounded\, is made from the shell of an armadillo. It has many names and is also known as tatú\, atatou\, quirquincho\, querú\, cabasu\, piche\, mulita\, toche\, mataca. The Argentinian singer Jonatan Alvarado\, specialist of South American repertoire whose passion is to revive the tradition of self-accompanied singing\, will join the ensemble to recreate this colourful journey. \nA co-presentation with Early Music Vancouver. \n \nTickets $40 for adults   $10 for students and youth \nNOTE: This special event is not eligible for Flex Pass \n

SUMMARY:Vivaldi: Gloria!
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL EVENT\nEnsemble Caprice (MONTREAL) \nEnsemble ArtChoral (MONTREAL)\n \nThe music making by Ensemble Caprice was first rate. – New York Times \n \nVivaldi and His Angels \nIn the early years of the eighteenth century\, music lovers from all over Europe traveled to Venice to hear performances by orphan girls in the Ospedale della Pietà. Among the greatest of the works performed in the Ospedale were Vivaldi’s Magnificat and Gloria\, performed on this occasion by female voices alone\, as it was likely first performed.\n \nThis program has been created in posthumous homage to the incredible music that Vivaldi composed for the orphans of the Ospedale. One can picture the scene when concerts were presented at the Church of  La Pietà. These performances attracted a large audience\, whose attendance was for a number of reasons\, the first being the wonderful effect that the playing and singing produced. The female choir members must have sounded like angels in paradise while\, at the same time\, it seemed almost inconceivable that such young girls could master the excessively difficult concertos that their teacher Vivaldi had composed for them. It must have caused a sensation! Furthermore\, the effect was intensified because the young women were hidden behind a barrier so that no one could see them. \nThe program is rounded out with two recorder concerti\, demonstrating the instrumental virtuosity that was achieved by these angels. \nWe will be presenting a choral and a recorder workshop on the day of the concert. Follow the link for more information:  Workshops   \nProgram: \n \nTickets $41; 10% discount for seniors & members; youth and students FREE at the door.

SUMMARY:In the Salons of Europe: Fortepiano-Harpsichord Duos in the Eighteenth Century
DESCRIPTION:Raritan Players (USA)\nRebecca Cypess & Yi-heng Yang keyboards \nIt is commonly thought that musicians abandoned their harpsichords and took up the fortepiano quickly and suddenly around 1780. In fact\, the two instruments coexisted happily for decades. Throughout the eighteenth century\, instrument makers explored novel ways of producing sound through experimentation with keyboard technologies. As new inventions were introduced\, they were folded into an already diverse keyboard culture\, expanding the palette of sounds available to players. Harpsichords and fortepianos of various sorts should be understood within the culture of invention and experimentation that led\, during the same period\, to such developments as musical automatons\, orchestrions\, the glass harmonica and musical clocks. \nIn the context of salons the use of various types of keyboard instruments allowed women to display their erudition while still adhering to the norms of their gender and social station. The tasteful combination of such instruments in performance enabled family members and friends to forge a sympathetic bond through music-making and presented their listeners with a topic of polite conversation. Indeed\, in bringing together diverse sounds and technologies\, the two players of a fortepiano-harpsichord duo enact a conversation of the same sort encouraged by the social institution of the salon: they differ in their sounds and the roles that they play\, while still finding ways to harmonize with and complement one another. \nOur concert features the fortepiano and harpsichord side-by-side\, or\, rather\, face-to-face\, presented by two artists renowned for their “simply mesmerizing” (Early Music America) performances and their scholarship in the areas of performance practice and the evolution of keyboard instruments. \n \nBrio and panache…simply a delight to the ear. – Fanfare \nTickets $31; 10% discount for seniors & members; youth and students FREE at the door. \nBUY TICKETS \nPlus Extra: \nWorkshop on the evolution of keyboard instruments in the 18th Century\n \nOur artists have studied and written extensively about the development of keyboard instruments in this important transitional period and will be sharing that knowledge in an afternoon talk\, which will include discussions\, questions and answers and demonstrations on fortepiano and harpsichord. \nJoin us for this FREE event\, Friday\, January 6\, 2pm at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church (Broughton St. entrance). \nLet us know if you plan to attend by emailing us at info@earlymusicsocietyoftheislands.ca

SUMMARY:Vivaldi's Other Seasons
DESCRIPTION:Hélène Brunet soprano\nRodolfo Richter violin and direction\nEnsemble Castor (AUSTRIA) \nBUY TICKETS NOW \nA light-hearted alternative to the familiar Four Seasons\, this programme includes concerti and cantatas by Vivaldi related to nature\, its sounds and its powerful events: bird song\, tempests\, rural life and the hunt. One of Italy’s leading exponents of the baroque violin leads some of Austria’s finest early music specialists\, with soprano and Juno Award winner Hélène Brunet.\n \nVivaldi’s best known work\, The Four Seasons\, has become so ubiquitous in recordings and concert performances\, that it has dominated the Baroque music landscape. But Vivaldi’s prolific output went far beyond the famous concerto\, to include opera\, oratorio\, motet\, sonata and many other concerti. \nOur concert on October 1 demonstrates the incredible range of his genius\, including works with musical echoes of The Four Seasons and similar themes of the power and beauty of nature.This all-Vivaldi program will be performed by Austria’s Ensemble Castor\, led by the renowned violin virtuoso\, Rodolfo Richter\, and featuring Canadian soprano\, Hélène Brunet. \nBrilliant virtuosity\, driving rhythms\, beautiful melodies – all the trademarks of one of the most beloved composers of the late Baroque. \n These players never fail to find something to say … lovely\, imaginative performances on some sweet-sounding instruments. – Gramophone \n  \nCanadian soprano Hélène Brunet has performed across North America with ensembles and orchestras\, notably at the Lincoln Center in New York City with the American Classical Orchestra\, with American Bach Soloists in San Francisco\, and the Orchestre Métropolitain under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin\, who praised her singing\, saying\, “Hélène Brunet is the embodiment of class\, refinement\, and purity.” In addition to a Juno award for her first solo album\, Hélène was a prize winner at the Lyndon Woodside Oratorio-Solo Competition at Carnegie Hall. She is currently based in New York. \nA never-ending curiosity\, combined with a deep passion for music led British/Brazilian violinist Rodolfo Richter to pursue a diverse career as director\, soloist\, chamber and orchestral musician\, concertmaster\, teacher and composer. Praised by the international press as “one of the most inspirational baroque violinists of his generation”\, chamber music has always been at the core of his activities over the years. In great demand as a guest concertmaster\, Rodolfo has led The English Concert\, Concerto Köln\, Capella Mediterranea\, Pygmaleon\, Ex Cathedra\, La Nuova Musica\, Die Kölner Akademie and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. He has collaborated with many eminent conductors such as Sir Roger Norrington\, Sir Charles Mackerras\, Sir Mark Elder\, Gustav Leonhardt\, René Jacobs\, Christopher Hogwood\, Trevor Pinnock\, Marris Jansons and Pierre Boulez. He is a former concertmaster of the Academy of Ancient Music (2005-2015) and B’Rock (2009-2018). \nTickets $31; 10% discount for seniors & members; youth and students FREE at the door. \nProgram:
