NOTE: Tickets go on sale Monday, April 3 at noon.

Artists: Jessica Korotkin, cello and director; Majka Demcak, violin; Elana Cooper, viola, & Diederik van Dijk, cello

While the concept of ‘parody’ is today associated with humor and satire, in the context of music composition, it refers to the creative process of recycling musical material. This program pays homage to Bach, showcasing an eclectic variety of Bach-inspired musical parodies. The concert includes works by J S Bach, Mozart, Gounod, and Korotkin.

You can read more about Jessica Korotkin and Bach Parodies in this article from Early Music America Magazine.

August 2 The Ladies Vespers 

Wednesday, August 2, 2023 | 7 p.m.Christ Church Cathedral

NOTE: Tickets go on sale Monday, April 3 at noon.

Artists: Nadine Balbiesi, Myriam Leblanc, Jane Long, Ellen Torrie, Liselot de Wilde, sopranos Liz Hamel, Emma Parkinson, Vicki St-Pierre, Krisztina Szabo, altos with members of Elektra Women’s Choir and the EMV Festival Players, directed. by Alexander Weimann

Festival Players: Chloe Meyers, violin 1; Christi Meyers, violin 2; Margaret Little, viola da gamba; Erin Headley, lirone and viola da gamba; Natalie Mackie, violone; Matthew Jennejohn, cornetto; Ellen Marple, sackbutt; Alex Fisher, sackbutt; Jeremy Berkman, sackbutt; Lucas Harris, theorbo; Antoine Malette-Chénier, triple harp; & Alexander Weimann, music director, keyboard

During the 17th century, women composers were most often either nuns educated in convents or the daughters of musical families such as Florence’s Caccini clan. The works presented in this concert come from both the secular and sacred worlds of 17th-century Italy, written for celebration in the cloister and private devotion in the home. This music abounds with all the inventiveness, refinement, and energy of the age of Monteverdi.

August 3 Atempor/elle: In search of inner coherence

Thursday, August 3, 2023 | 1 p.m.The Annex

NOTE: Tickets go on sale Monday, April 3 at noon.

Artists: Stéphanie Brochard, dance; Margaret Little, viola da gamba

A woman, with all her strengths and vulnerabilities. Timeless, not belonging to the present or the past, with no choice but to face herself. She digs through the layers of her past, present and future to reconcile herself, fragmenting herself to better consolidate all her identities. Atempor/elle is a duet in which music and dance form a single voice—the voice of a soul in an inner quest for coherence.

August 3 Milton in Love: The Birth of Opera in the Eternal City

Thursday, August 3, 2023 | 7:30 p.m. Pyatt Hall

NOTE: Tickets go on sale Monday, April 3 at noon.

Artists: Nadine Balbiesi, Ellen Torrie and Myriam Leblanc, sopranos; Atalante, directed by Erin Headley; Lucas Harris, theorbo; Antoine Malette-Chénier, triple harp  

Milton in Love paints a portrait of the English poet John Milton’s sojourn through Rome where he fraternized with the Illuminati, attended opera and oratorios, and became enamored with the singing of soprano Leonora Baroni. The laments display the sensuality, ecstasy, and eroticism of early Baroque Rome, and the performances by Erin Headley and her ensemble are sure to surprise and delight audiences as well. 

Together with a chitarrone, triple harp, baroque guitar, lirone and viola da gamba, the ensemble supports a trio of female voices who bring to life a multimedia programme of ultra-expressive laments.

August 4 Party like it’s 1694! Celebrating Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre

NOTE: Admission to this event is by donation, tickets are not required

Artists: Next Generation artists Ai Horton, soprano & Elana Cooper, violin, with Stéphanie Brochard, baroque dance and the Baroque Orchestra Mentorship Programme, directed by Chloe Meyers

By the age of five, harpsichord prodigy Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre could enthrall the court of Louis XIV with her performances; she went on to become one of the greatest composers and music educators of the “Grand Siècle.” In this concert, EMV Next Generation artists and members of the Baroque Orchestra Mentorship Programme explore the music of this brilliant and precocious artist. The programme features excerpts from Céphale et Procris—Elizabeth Jacquet’s only opera and the first to be written by a woman in France—and the dramatic cantata Semele, along with her violin sonata in D minor. On stage, choreographer and dancer Stephanie Brochard brings this music to life.

A Woman’s Voice in Bach’s World: Christiane Mariane von Ziegler

Saturday, August 5, 2023 | 7.30 p.m.Christ Church Cathedral

NOTE: Tickets go on sale Monday, April 3 at noon.

Artists: Krisztina Szabó, mezzo-soprano; Philippe Gagné, tenor; Sumner Thompson, baritone, with the Pacific Baroque Orchestra directed by Alexander Weimann

Christiane Mariane von Ziegler, Leipzig’s Poet Laureate (1733), vigorously defended women’s rights to improved education and literary enterprise. She was one of J.S. Bach’s esteemed librettists ( setting texts to nine cantatas) and a rare woman’s voice in the Lutheran liturgy. This programme celebrates the two Leipzig artists’ short but fruitful creative partnership.

This concert is generously supported by The Graham and Gayle Cooke Foundation, Elaine Adair, & Elaine Stevens
