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.

This historic house was once the home of Nathaniel Allen, founder of The West Newton English and Classical School. Nathaniel Allen was a progressive educator who provided equal opportunities for girls and boys in racially mixed classrooms even before the Civil War. His curriculum was innovative, and students came from all over the world to attend his school.
Guests will explore the parlor, a classroom, and even the bowling alley as we learn about the family, the students, the school, and the unique curriculum. Our visit will finish in the barn, where you will have the opportunity to try some of the games and activities that children enjoyed at this time.
We hope you can join us to learn about the history of this newly renovated Newton treasure! Each visit will run approximately one hour. Free event, 3rd grade and up, registration required (see button below).

Class Description
Looking South of the Alps – Landini and the Italian trecento I – Early Notation with Annette Bauer
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.
