After a year of focused work on 15th-century notation topics, we close our current season before the summer break with a 4-week online series featuring a “casual” selection of shorter pieces from late 15th and early 16th century sources. This series is designed for both ongoing students to review some of the basic concepts of mensural notation, to deepen and enjoy the fluency gained over the past few months of studies, and for new students to join in for a first practical experience with mensural notation… $100 for four sessions, recordings of each class are available during the week after class… See the complete description for these classes, and sign up here!

The heart of the Festival is the Central Program. It is the largest and most varied program we offer, with classes available for most early music instruments, and music ranging from Medieval to Baroque. You can choose the combination of classes that works for you — perfect if, like some of our students, you sing or dance and play an instrument or two. Play in consorts of like or mixed instruments, investigate a new repertory, take a dance class, or begin a new instrument. We also offer a unique program in early notation for all levels starting with absolute beginner. Pitch: most classes will be at a=440. Viol-only and most Baroque ensemble classes will be at a=415. Detailed class descriptions and schedule will be available in May.
Schedule: Classes run Monday through Friday, with four class periods per day.

Pro Arte presents VOLCANIC!
2023-01-08 15:00 - 17:00 | Sanders Theatre, 45 Quincy St., Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Join Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra and conductor Gisèle Ben-Dor as she returns to lead Pro Arte in a sweeping program featuring American violinist Lucia Lin—a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a professor at Boston University. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Octet is a playful suite in the tradition of wind band music popular in Austria at the time. A century later, the Venezuelan-American composer Teresa Carreño wrote a Romantic take on the Classical suite during a stay in the Alps. Her intoxicating Serenade for strings conveys all the charm of the Austrian lakeside village where it was written. In the music of the contemporary composer J.P. Jofre, one hears the tango of his native Argentina alongside the jazz of New York City, where he now lives. His violin concerto Mauna Loa, co-commissioned by Lucia Lin (and performed in its US premiere by Pro Arte in March 2022), is a vibrant work capturing the immense power of the world’s largest active volcano.
