Aspect Presents: Love's Sickness

Aspect Chamber Music Series returns in 2024 with another Night Out offering for the books! :) As is customary, their themed concerts are paired with an illustrated talk illuminating the topic of the evening. On the docket: Love's sickness. Here's what they have to say about the program:

"Baroque English love songs explore a myriad of emotions. Beyond happiness and light; they can also resound with despair and even sickness. Soprano Nola Richardson graces the stage alongside period-instrument ensemble A Golden Wire to weave a tapestry of seventeenth-century English songs that captures the many colors of love’s emotional spectrum. From poignant yearning for the affection of Classically inspired figures such as Selina and Celia, to the haunting laments that echoed within the walls of Bedlam, or the fearful soliloquies of a bereaved mother, composers from William Lawes to Henry Purcell harnessed music’s full expressive potential. Through their artistry, they unveiled the profound depths of human sentiment, which mere words could never hope to convey."

The evening will feature music by Purcell, Hume, Lanier, Corkine, Jenkins, Corbetta, Marais, D'Urfey, Blow, Eccles, and Lawes and a lecture by Parker Ramsay. Your ticket includes complimentary wine! Don't miss out on this 55%+ discount!
