This concert is made possible through the generous support of Robert McDermott and James Gentner.
Comprised of a colorful array of Baroque instruments, including viola, lute, recorder, and voice, Ars Poetica is an ensemble of acclaimed musicians who share a passion for bringing historical music to the stage. The program “Dance and Transfiguration” finds its inspiration in music that has taken previous material and turned it into something new. This is celebrated in the beauty of bastarda repertoire, diminution practices, and in music with strong text settings. Each of these genres rely on previously written material to come to life.
