Arts & Culture Highlights
Cappella Clausura Shares a Virtual Concert
Cappella Clausura performs "Magnificat," a spectacular work by one of the most talented nuns of the Italian Baroque, Chiara Margarita Cozzolani (1602-c.1678). Cozzolani was the abbess of Santa Radegonda in Milan and composer of the Vespers of 1650, motets, and many concerti sacri for solo, duo, trio, and more. This work was recorded by each individual musician, using the conductor's video together with the continuo (theorbo) player's video. Video master, NCA Board Member Christopher Pitts, and audio engineer, James Zaner, do a masterful job of putting 18 complex parts together. Enjoy!
Look At Our Progress!
The historic Nathaniel Allen House, an eight-year, collaborative project of the Newton Cultural Alliance, will open its doors shortly as the Allen Center. We anticipate a gradual, COVID safe, opening beginning in January 2021, with full activities to launch late next year. We hope you will drop by and view the Allen Center for yourself in early 2021. Watch for an announcement on small open-house gatherings in the coming months, and click below for a close up look at the Allen Center!
