Airs de Cour with Musica Maestrale on the SoHIP series (Lincoln, MA)

Musica Maestrale makes their SoHIP debut with a program of music highlighting the charming courtly songs of 17th-century France. Dating from the reigns of the French kings Louis XIII (“the Just”) and XIV (“the Sun King”), these pieces were primarily meant for private consumption by the nobility, and they display a tender, intimate side of early- to mid-Baroque music. Airs by Moulinié, Lambert, Guedron and their contemporaries, as well as instrumental solos by Ballard, de Visée, and others express sentiments of loss, longing, and heartbreak—still very relatable subjects to us today, who are separated from the original intended audience through time and social status.

Songs of Corruption and Justice with Meravelha on the SoHIP series (Lincoln, MA)

Songs of Corruption and Justice with Meravelha on the SoHIP series (Lincoln, MA)

The quest for political power has changed little over the centuries. Kings and Presidents, popes and senators, all have their partisans, their detractors, their scandals, and their victories. Long before today's 24-hour news cycle, the propaganda machine ran on verse. Meravelha’s timely tour of Medieval political songs explores themes of nationalism, corruption, greed, propaganda, and justice for the common people. The program includes songs of the troubadours, works by Philip the Chancellor and Robert Morton, and selections from the Roman de Fauvel, the Trinity Carol Roll, the Notre Dame conductus repertoire, and the Carmina Burana. Between songs, the performers provide cultural and historical context for the music, and modern readings from social media and public commentary connect these works to our contemporary experiences.

"Come From Away" at the Cape Playhouse (Dennis, MA)

to Aug 30

"Come From Away" at the Cape Playhouse (Dennis, MA)

Come from Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.

"City of Fools" with the Boston Camerata (Boston)

City of Fools explores age-old themes of justice and corruption as told through ancient minstrel songs. Satirical works from medieval France, Provençe, and Germany provide a sharply-etched and astonishingly contemporary perspective on our own nation’s current travails. “Be prepared for a surprise or two along the way!” shares Camerata Artistic Director Anne Azéma. The concert will include songs of the great Provençal troubadour and satirist Peire Cardenal, as well as pungent excerpts from Carmina Burana and the Roman de Fauvel.
