“the leader among Houston’s early music ensembles”
Houston Chronicle
Ars Lyrica’s recent Grammy nomination encapsulates what our 2011–12 season is all about: Transformations. Our 7th season at the Hobby Center explores this theme on various levels—emotional, physical, spiritual, even intellectual—and features extraordinary artists performing exceptional music, from Claudio Monteverdi through Johann Christian Bach. Highlights of the season include the Houston débuts of prizewinning Baroque violinist Ingrid Matthews and radiant sopranos Céline Ricci and Gillian Keith, an all-Bach New Year’s Eve program, an awe-inspiring Handel oratorio on the resurrection, plus Ars Lyrica’s first collaboration with the dynamic New York Baroque Dance Company.
Come join us for a truly transformative season, and experience music that will change your life. See you at Zilkha Hall!
