Summer Festival 2014 2014–2015 Season summer festival 2014 2014–2015 season dear friends What a great pleasure and privilege it has been to curate the festival and season outlined in this calendar! Early Music Vancouver plays a unique and increasingly large role in our region’s cultural life and I am thrilled to be a part in defining its continued success and evolution. We remain committed to casting works from musical history into fresh light and creating unique moments in time. This calendar unveils a new logo and design for EMV — one that carries forward the tradition of visual richness that our audiences have come to expect from our materials. Our new logo demonstrates an ongoing commitment to great music of the past while acknowledging that whatever we present must transcend time and touch people today. The partial representation of a circular canon from the 16th century evokes the idea of layered voices from our past still resonating in harmony today. Why flowers? Flowers, and roses in particular, are associated with passion, perfection, life, love, ephemera, fragility and the passage of time. A flower, like a live musical performance, exists most vividly for only a brief moment and then fades; its beauty is momentary yet eternal. We would like to thank Vancouver photographer Alex Waterhouse-Hayward, whose exquisite scans of roses from his garden inspired this calendar, and David Carlin for his invaluable help in choosing botanical images. Warmest thanks to you, our audiences, and closest supporters, for your generosity and continued interest in EMV. I look forward to seeing you at a concert soon.

Renowned soprano Ellen Hargis curates this recital of Rameau cantatas and instrumental works, performing the famous “Orphée” cantata and lending her guidance and expertise in this elegant music to young mezzo-soprano Sylvia Szadovszki in her first appearance with Early Music Vancouver.

This shared recital explores the blurring of the lines between lute and harpsichord repertoire in the eighteenth century, when lutenists imitated harpsichord music — and vice versa. Our exploration begins in Italy, continues to France, and finishes in Germany with a tête-à-tête between two compositional masters: Sylvius Leopold Weiss and Johann Sebastian Bach. Mahony and Sons is proud to sponsor Early Music Vancouver.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 1, 2012 CONTACT: Kathleen Fay, Executive Director | Boston Early Music Festival 161 First Street, Suite 202 | Cambridge, MA 02142 617-661-1812 | [email protected] | www.bemf.org BOSTON EARLY MUSIC FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2013 FESTIVAL OPERATIC CENTERPIECE , HANDEL ’S ALMIRA Cambridge, MA – April 1, 2012 – The Boston Early Music Festival has announced plans for the 2013 Festival fully-staged Operatic Centerpiece Almira, the first opera by the celebrated and beloved Baroque composer, George Frideric Handel (1685–1759), in its first modern-day historically-conceived production. Written when he was only 19, Almira tells a story of intrigue and romance in the court of the Queen of Castile, in a dazzling parade of entertainment and delight which Handel would often borrow from during his later career. One of the world’s leading Handel scholars, Professor Ellen T. Harris of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), has said that BEMF is the “perfect and only” organization to take on Handel’s earliest operatic masterpiece, as it requires BEMF’s unique collection of artistic talents: the musical leadership, precision, and expertise of BEMF Artistic Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs; the stimulating and informed stage direction and magnificent production designs of BEMF Stage Director in Residence Gilbert Blin; “the world’s finest continuo team, which you have”; the highly skilled BEMF Baroque Dance Ensemble to bring to life Almira ’s substantial dance sequences; the all-star BEMF Orchestra; and a wide range of superb voices. BEMF will offer five fully-staged performances of Handel’s Almira from June 9 to 16, 2013 at the Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College (219 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, USA), followed by three performances at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center (14 Castle Street, Great Barrington, MA, USA) on June 21, 22, and 23, 2013 ; all performances will be sung in German with English subtitles.

She served from 1969-1984 as Professor of Music History and Literature at what was then called Baldwin-Wallace College and as head of that department from 1980-1984.

She also completed a Master’s degree at the Eastman School of Music and received a Bachelor’s degree with High Honors in Music and English Literature from Kansas Wesleyan University in 1941. In the fall of 1951 and again during the summer of 1954, she studied Bach’s works as a guest in the home of Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Since 1978, her Schweitzer research brought Dr. Barber to the Schweitzer House archives (Gunsbach, France) many times. In 1953 the collection of Dr. Albert Riemenschneider was donated to the University by his wife, Selma. Sixteen years later, Dr. Warren Scharf, then director of the Conservatory, and Dr.

  • Boston Baroque Announces Third Pop-Up Livestream Concert Featuring Soprano Amanda Forsythe Performing Handel’S Gloria
    Media Contact: Emily Kirk Weddle, Boston Baroque [email protected] 617-987-8600 For Immediate Release: Boston Baroque announces third pop-up livestream concert featuring soprano Amanda Forsythe performing Handel’s Gloria Program also includes works by Bach and Corelli with soloists Christina Day Martinson and Sarah Darling BOSTON, MA—Boston Baroque ushers in spring with a new pop-up concert livestreamed for audiences featuring Handel’s Gloria and J.S. Bach’s Concert for Two Violins. The program will take place on Saturday, April 10th at 7pm live from Fraser Studio at GBH in Boston. Boston Baroque’s renowned orchestra will perform the hour-long program with soloists soprano Amanda Forsythe, violinist Sarah Darling, and Boston Baroque concertmaster and recent GRAMMY®-nominee Christina Day Martinson. The program will begin with Arcangelo Corelli’s delightful Concerto Grosso Op. 6, No. 10 in C Major followed by soprano Amanda Forsythe performing select arias from George Frideric Handel’s Partenope, first premiered in 1730. Boston Baroque last performed the comic opera in full in 2012 with Forsythe in the titular role. Concertmaster Christina Day Martinson and principal violinist Sarah Darling will then take the virtual stage to perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043. The two violins communicate throughout the work, with a subtle yet expressive interplay between the soloists. Bach premiered the work during a concert series with Collegium Musicum in Leipzig also around 1730. It is Bach’s only concerto for two violins. The program will conclude with Handel’s sparkling Gloria featuring soprano soloist Amanda Forsythe.

  • Concert Reviews (2011–2017)
    Concert Reviews (2011–2017) From 2011 through 2017 I occasionally reviewed concerts for the online Boston Musical Intelligencer, imagining that by offering commentary on local performances I might provide information about the music for listeners and helpful suggestions for performers and presenters. But of course this was quixotic, not to say presumptuous, and on the rare occasions when my reviews solicited comments these were usually to complain about their length or my criticisms of anachronistic performance practices and inaccurate claims in program notes. I discovered, too, that as a performer myself, and one who knew and has worked with and even taught some of those I found myself reviewing, it could be difficult to preserve my objectivity or to avoid offending people. An additional frustration was that many of my reviews appeared with editorial changes that introduced not only grammatical errors and misspellings but sometimes misstatements of fact, even altering the views I had expressed. I know that few things are as stale as old reviews, but for the record I include below all these reviews as I wrote them, arranged by date of publication from the most recent to the earliest. At some point I learned that it was preferable to invent a cute-sounding headline than to have one foisted on my review, and where I did this I’ve included it together with my byline. A few of these are accompanied by my photos, although the only one of these that ran originally was the one of the Resistance protest in Copley Square in January 2017.

  • The American Soprano Amanda Forsythe , Highly Praised for Her
    The American soprano Amanda Forsythe, highly praised for her performances on both sides of the Atlantic, sang Euridice on the recording of Charpentier’s La descente d'Orphée aux enfers with the Boston Early Music Festival which won the 2015 GRAMMY AWARD for Best Opera Recording. Her highly acclaimed CDs have included her début solo album of Handel arias "The Power of Love" with Apollo’s Fire on the Avie label. She recently toured with the outstanding French countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, performing works based on the Orfeo myth, and subsequently recorded the role of Euridice in a new edition of Gluck’s Orfeo for the ERATO label. Equally at home on the concert platform and on the opera stage, in recent seasons Amanda Forsythe’s major engagements have included Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the Boston Symphony under Andris Nelsons and the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Susanna Mälkki, Handel’s Sileti venti and Laudate pueri with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Nicholas Kraemer, Messiah with Seattle Symphony, Bach's Magnificat and concert performances as Marzelline Fidelio with the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia under Sir Antonio Pappano. Following performances as Amour in Gluck’s Orphée at London’s Royal Opera House, she participated in tours of this work, and of Mozart's C Minor Mass and Requiem with the Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra under Sir John Eliot Gardiner.
