Music in Sacred Spaces: Bologna and Modena

Sunday November 11, 3 PM @ United Lutheran



In this concert, soprano Emma Lynn, baroque violinist Holly Roberts, baroque cellist Laura Trujillo, and harpsichordist Ednaldo Borba perform music composed for sacred spaces in late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Bologna and Modena. The program features music by Lucrezia Vizzana, Sulpitia Cesis, Giuseppe Aldrovandini, and various other composers who were well-known in their lifetimes but have largely been forgotten by today’s performers and audiences. During the concert, the audience will journey through Bologna’s sacred spaces visually and aurally, as they see photographs of sacred baroque grandeur while listening to sacred music from that same city.

Music of Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre

Sunday February 17, 3 PM @ United Lutheran



French harpsichordist and composer Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre was a child prodigy who maintained a career as a performer and composer through adulthood. With successful compositions in all genre, de La Guerre music was acclaimed by her contemporaries as a musician who delighted audiences by her imaginative performances and wide-ranging interests. In 1694 Jacquet de La Guerre’s Céphale et Procris was the first opera written by a woman to be produced in Paris. Our program showcases Jacquet de La Guerre’s skill in vocal writing with the cantata “The Island of the Gods” with OBC soloists Brittany Rudoi, Christa Graf, Kimary Fick and Ryan Ponto. With recent interest in her style and recent publications of her music, we have selected some of her most stunning instrumental works for this program, celebrating the accomplishments of this talented woman.
