Concertos for One and All
Coming from Boston Festival Orchestra, Alyssa Wang makes her Pro Arte debut in a program featuring everyone on the stage. Violinist Steven Copes returns for a concert where all voices are equal and all parts share in the spotlight.

Pro Arte welcomes conductor Alyssa Wang and violinist Steven Copes, Concertmaster of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, for a concert of riveting works, both warmly familiar and boldly inventive. In Frog’s Eye, the contemporary composer Evan Ziporyn meticulously layers musical lines to open a vista bustling with life. The Concerto for string orchestra by the twentieth-century Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz is a carefully crafted work of breathtaking force. Johannes Brahms composed his majestic Violin Concerto for the violinist Joseph Joachim, a close friend and collaborator. Throughout the stately opening movement, the lyrical Adagio, and the fiery finale, Brahms’s music is characteristically expressive, heartfelt, and dramatic.

2023-03-29 17:30 - 19:00
AEM Online: Looking South of the Alps – Landini and the Italian Trecento II

Parallel to the innovations of the French Ars Nova a different style of notation developed in Italy, which was also designed to be rhythmically more precise and versatile than the notation used in previous centuries. The Italian style is typically simply referred to as “trecento” notation, named after the century. Recognized as one of the most famous composers of the Italian trecento is Francesco Landini (ca. 1324-1397), who was a blind composer, organist, singer, poet, and instrument maker. We will explore his compositions transmitted in sources such as the beautiful early 15th century Squarcialupi Codex and others.
This is a continuation of notation session 16. Newcomers welcome with prior approval.
Cost is $100 for 4 Weekly Sessions: March 8, 15, 22, 29

96 Otis Street, Newtonville MA
Caridad Svich’s adaptation of Julia Álvarez’s 1994 novel In The Time of the Butterflies follows four sisters known as the “Mariposas” (Butterflies), Patria, Dedé, Minerva, and Mate as they live through the dictatorial regime of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo in the Dominican Republic in the early 20th century. The sisters were real historical figures, and while this is a fictionalized account of their lives, in actuality they inspired resistance cells throughout the country.
As the play unfolds, audiences journey through time, and experience the interior lives of the activist sisters from the beginning of the dictatorship, to decades later as their story is being told by an older Dedé to an American Journalist.
In The Time of the Butterflies is a powerful, beautiful, poignant play about family, love, and fighting for freedom.

Devine
harpsichord

Class Description

From its origins in early medieval Europe, the hurdy-gurdy has captured the imaginations of musicians, audiences and artists. This curious and compelling instrument has worn many mantles over the centuries: solemn fixture in sacred rituals, staple at the courts of kingdoms of legend, rabble rouser at raucous parties and companion of genteel ladies and blind beggars. Discussion topics include the timeline of the instrument and where one may have found it throughout history, the repertoire and where to source it, and contemporary communities and marketplaces for hurdy-gurdies. Participants with their own hurdy-gurdies will be encouraged to demonstrate their instruments in class. Open to all.
