EMV’s 2024-2025 Main Season
The 2024-2025 season shines the light on centuries of early music from the astonishing ancient tale of Gregorius to a new arrangement of Bach’s Goldberg Variations by Alexander Weimann, ending with Senegalese music by kora master Ablaye Cissoko. Our second edition of the LUMEN festival embraces the theme of love with the Grammy-nominated British vocal ensemble VOCES8 followed by Bach’s wedding cantatas and a celebration of love with Renaissance music from Huehuetenango, Guatemala.
I can’t wait to share this odyssey of music concerts with you in person!
Suzie LeBlanc, C.M., Artistic/Executive Director
