Our March subscription program celebrates the goddess who nourishes us, protects us, and provides us with beauty. Its centerpiece, Soy la Diosa (I am the Goddess), is a joint commission by Ars Lyrica and Les Délices from Nicaraguan American composer Gilda Lyons. Set to a libretto based on Latin American folklore and historical legends, this new work features soprano Estelí Gomez in her Ars Lyrica debut alongside a colorful chamber ensemble of Baroque oboe, strings, guitar, and harpsichord. A companion Spanish-language cantata from the Baroque era plus instrumental dances complete this all-Hispanic program.

Featured artists:
Estelí Gomez, soprano
Debra Nagy, Baroque oboe

On the program:

José de Torres, Reloj que señala
Gilda Lyons, Soy la Diosa
Anonymous dances from Peruvian and Guatemalan sources

Single in-person tickets will go on sale in August 2026.
