Three Concertos, One Life – W. A. Mozart

Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 8 pm
Redpath Hall
3461 McTavish

Three seasons in the life of Mozart and one concerto from each! First a work from his precocious youth, the Violin Concerto in A Major composed at the age of 19, then the Piano Concerto in A Major composed at the height of his career and rounding things off, one of his last great unfinished works, the Clarinet Concerto composed in the twilight of his life. And the fourth season, you ask? A concerto by Montreal composer Maxime McKinley.

Heavenly Cantatas by J. S. Bach and G. Fr. Haendel

Ensemble Caprice with invited guests Daniel Taylor (countertenor) and Shannon Mercer (soprano)

Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 8 pm
Redpath Hall
3461 McTavish

The cantatas of J. S. Bach and G. Fr. Haendel have seduced vast audiences since their inceptions. The united forces of celestial and crystalline voices melding with agile and touching instrumental sonorities inspired the composers’ imaginations to reach the greatest heights. So high that at times they seem to reach the very heavens!
