Passion in Miniature
November 10th at 4 pm
This thoughtful program places a concert on the day of Martin Luther’s birth into a genre he would have been intimately familiar with - a passionate church service. In order to steep the liturgical purposes of the text in drama, the orchestration of “Passion In Miniature” moves from the archaic organ to harpsichord and finally to modern piano. The grand piano is the first sound heard, though not in a familiar setting. Claude Debussy first awakens our senses with a striking musical imitation of ancient incense. What follows is an emotional collage of music and text: prayer, prelude, opening hymn, offertory, confession, closing hymn, benediction.

Théâtre-Français
June 30th @ 1 pm
A reinauguration of the "Music with Grace Concert Series" kicks off with pianist/harpsichordist Jerimiah Otto and tenor Michael Hoffman, joined by modern/baroque flutist Courtney Badura and violinist Nadya Hill for an afternoon of music influenced by and composed for the French Theater tradition.
Listeners can expect to hear the opera music of Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, the music of Duke Ellington and Franz Liszt, and the stunning poetry of Charles Baudelaire, sung by Michael Hoffman and set to music by Claude Debussy in Harmonies of the Night, Meditation, and The Death of Lovers.
Jerimiah will guide concert-goers through the program, which is 60 minutes with one intermission.
