SUMMARY:JEAN RONDEAU\, harpsichord
DESCRIPTION:Around Louis Couperin\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFew artists today have devoted themselves to a single composer the way Jean Rondeau has to Louis Couperin. Several years ago\, at the height of a rising international career\, Rondeau stepped back for a full sabbatical to live inside Couperin’s music. The result was a landmark ten-disc recording surveying Couperin alongside the composers who shaped and surrounded him: Ennemond Gaultier\,Chambonnières\, D’Anglebert\, and Dufaut.This program is drawn from that same world: the unmeasured\, improvisatory tombeaux—musical elegies mourning departed friends and teachers—alongside two of Couperin’s own harpsichord suites\, in D and in G. It’s a program built on memory\, mourning\, and homage\, played by an artist who has made that language entirely his own. One of the most eagerly awaited returns of the season that is not tobe missed!

SUMMARY:VOX LUMINIS
DESCRIPTION:Lionel Meunier\, artistic director \n\n\n\nMonteverdi Vespers of 1610\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonteverdi’s Vespro della Beata Vergine (1610) is one of the masterpieces of early Baroque sacred music\, composed while Monteverdi was in the service of the Gonzaga court in Mantua. It combines traditional chant and the older style of Renaissance polyphony with the innovative compositional techniques of the emerging style known as the seconda pratica.Our 45th anniversary season starts with an audience favorite\, Vox Luminis\, in our most ambitious production to date\, inside the superb acoustics of Saint Brigid Parish.

SUMMARY:ENSEMBLE CORRESPONDANCES
DESCRIPTION:Sebastian Dauce\, direction \n\n\n\nCharpentier’s Midnight Mass\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWritten in 1694 for the holy night of Christmas\, the French Grand Siècle gem Messe de Minuit has made Marc-Antoine Charpentier known outside the early music world. Based on traditional French Noëls\, this work will please everyone\, from new listeners who will recognize familiar melodies to those who will admire its extraordinary craftsmanship. The candor of the original Noels gives the Messe a warmth and simplicity that is not without depth\, speaking a universal language.Finally returning to San Diego\, Ensemble Correspondances brings its profound affinity for and mastery of the French Baroque for a memorable evening. \n\n\n\n\n\nEnsemble Correspondances appears with the support of the French Institute in Paris. Supported also by Albertine Music\, a program of Villa Albertine and Albertine Foundation\, and by the National Music Center in France.

SUMMARY:ENSEMBLE CORRESPONDANCES
DESCRIPTION:SEBASTIEN DAUCÉ\, direction \n\n\n\nSpecial Event \n\n\n\nBach Early Cantatas\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLong before the Well-Tempered Clavier or the Mass in B minor\, there was a young organist in Mühlhausen\, absorbing everything the German motet and cantata tradition had to offer. This program traces that inheritance directly: chorale-based motets by Johann Christoph Bach and Franz Tunder\, the very models the teenage Bach studied\, set alongside three of his own earliest cantatas\, Aus der Tiefen rufe ich (BWV 131)\, the funeral cantata Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (BWV 106\, the “Actus Tragicus”)\, and the Easter cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden (BWV 4).Returning to San Diego for the second of two concerts this season\, Ensemble Correspondances is joined by star mezzo-soprano Lucile Richardot\, whose singing in the Tunder and J. C. Bach motets promises to be one of the most affecting moments of the SDEMS season. Hearing Correspondances twice in one residency is a rare chance to experience the depth of an ensemble that lives inside this repertoire. \n\n\n\n\n\nEnsemble Correspondances appears with the support of the French Institute in Paris. Supported also by Albertine Music\, a program of Villa Albertine and Albertine Foundation\, and by the National Music Center in France.

SUMMARY:LES DÉLICES
DESCRIPTION:Moonlit Mozart\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDespite their rarity today\, wind octets\, also known as Harmoniemusik\, were a relatively common ensemble in central Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. More nimble than a full orchestra\, these ensembles performed nocturnesand serenades\, dance music\, or even operatic or symphonic reductions. An ensemble of eight woodwinds could cover most\, if not all\, bases. Soaring melodies were often split between first oboe and first clarinet\, while inner parts were covered by other winds and horns. Bassoons would alternate between tenor solos and bustling bass lines\, and a double bass often provided reinforcement on the low end.The music of Mozart can be revelatory\, particularly when combined with the signature transparency and rhythmic verve of period instruments. Artistic Director Debra Nagy has assembled North America’s finest period-instrument woodwindplayers for this all-Mozart program including selections from The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni\, plus Mozart’s transcendent Serenade in C minor “Nachtmusik” (K388) for pairs of oboes\, clarinets\, bassoons\, and natural horns.

DESCRIPTION:Juvenilia: Music by J. S. Bach\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaking his San Diego debut\, Gabriel Smallwood presents a program built as a conversation across generations: works by Bach set directly against the composers who formed him as a young musician—Dietrich Buxtehude\, Georg Böhm\, Christian Ritter\, and Johann Adam Reincken. In Smallwood’s words\, it’s “a dialogue between student and teacher\,” an unusually vivid way to hear exactly what Bach absorbed\, and what he transformed\, on his way to becoming the towering figure we know today.

SUMMARY:MARK EDWARDS\, harpsichord
DESCRIPTION:The Art of the Toccata\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Edwards makes his San Diego debut with an all-Bach program that continues a thread running through this season: the young Bach\, before he became an institution. Alongside the famous keyboard toccatas that are bold\, free\, and almost theatrical works that show Bach testing the limits of the form\, Edwards includes lesser-known early keyboard pieces that reveal a composer still finding his voice.
