Dear Friends,

I’m very excited about Ars Lyrica’s 2007–2008 season, and I hope you will be, too. We’ve got extraordinary music and guest artists to share with you, in some of the finest spaces for music-making in the Houston area. Subscribe now and take advantage of preferred seating options and special season discounts!

The season begin on September 7 with Mad Women, featuring our own Melissa Givens and HGO studio alum Marie Lenormand in a fascinating program of Baroque mad scenes. Monteverdi and his contemporaries provide the Songs of Love and War on our November 4 program. For New Year’s Eve we'll be offering Clandestine Classics, including Bach’s Triple Concerto and Handel’s Gloria, plus a gala champagne reception and silent auction. Rounding out our subscription series are an all-Scarlatti evening on March 1 (including an oratorio we’ve just recorded) and some marvelous works by both Bach and Handel for Duelling Divas on May 11. Subscribe to our Zilkha Hall series of five concerts, and you'll receive free tickets to our two programs at St Philip Presbyterian Church as well.

I look forward to your company and some great music making in the coming season.
