PREVIOUS SHOWS THIS SEASON:
Friday, Nov 4 at 8pm
The DiMenna Center for Classical Music
What began as a companion piece in 2020, a program called "Fables," designed as part of our April 2020 Festival, has been tossed and turned and finally cannibalized into a footloose and fantastical new show called "Nuva." Nuva (aka The Nucleus) features the amazing Hai-Ting Chinn, and some rarely-heard masterpieces we've been itching to play for years, including surprising CP composer debuts (our first Barbara Strozzi! and our first Philip Glass!).
PROGRAM
Giovanni Battista Fontana - Sonata no 6
Klaus Lang - Der Weg des Prinzen I
Philip Glass - Music in Similar Motion
Barbara Strozzi - Lagrime mie
Rahilia Hasanova - Nuva
Featuring:
Hai-Ting Chinn, voice
Jacob Ashworth, baroque violin, modern violin, viola
Laura Cocks, flute
Maddy Fayette, cello
Sae Hashimoto, percussion
Gleb Kanasevich, clarinets
Paul Morton, lutes
Daniel Schlosberg, piano, organ, and beer bottles
Saturday, January 21st at 7:30pm
Tenri Cultural Institute
43a West 13th St, NYC
Cantata Profana presents its second show of the season! This concert will take place in the intimate Tenri Cultural Institute space on West 13th St and will honor the tradition of our dynamic, miniature-yet-epic Joe's Pub spotlight shows. This will be our last venture into the salon spotlight format, so make sure not to miss this one!
Our beloved John Taylor Ward rekindles the magic of this intimate series with an arresting show that centers around a piece that’s been on our bucket list for years: Iannis Xenakis' Kassandra. Ripped from a larger-scale opera and fitted as a chamber work in the 80s, Kassandra is a remarkable place from which to begin our show. From there, Taylor takes us on a further journey, with morcels from Italian art songs, baroque strains of Sigismondo d'India, and the unique, wondrous expressivity of Celeste Oram. Taylor teams up with the magnificent percussionist Jess Tsang for her CP debut, along with Daniel Schlosberg on keys, and Jacob Ashworth and Suliman Tekalli on fiddles.
