From the Directors

The disruptions of the last two years have made us more grateful for things we used to take for granted, like the opportunity to make and enjoy music together. Gratitude likewise motivates our 2022/23 season, which pays homage to sounding legacies of various kinds: from that of Cecilia, our patron saint, to the enduring pastoral trope in poetry and music. We’re delighted to offer in-person programs once again, with major works this season by Purcell, Vivaldi, Monteverdi, Handel, Rameau, and Bach. Featured soloists include audience favorites alongside rising stars, and our core ensemble of period string, wind, and continuo players has never been in better shape. This will be a season filled with celebration and thanksgiving!
