Ensemble Settecento
A program of stirring, dramatic music in anticipation of Holy Week, including Georg Böhm's rarely performed Passion According to St. John, once attributed to Handel. Like J.S.

Also on the program are a chorus form Handel's final oratorio "Jephtha," excerpts from J.S. Bach's contemplative funeral cantata "Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit" and Haydn's fiery Symphony no. 49 in F minor, "La passione" - possibly the first performance of a complete Haydn symphony on period instruments in Central Texas.

Dr. Ruth Holmes guides this educational journey through the history of the harpsichord from its earliest days to its revival in the 20th century.

Canzona, with Christina Edelen
Henry VIII, best known today as a fat despot with an unfortunate marital history, was as a young man educated to be the “Ideal Renaissance Prince,” capable of speaking several languages and playing many musical instruments, especially the recorders and the virginal. His daughter Elizabeth was also well trained in music and played the virginal with great ability. This program will be an hour exploring music from the courts of Henry VIII and Elizabeth. The ensemble Canzona—which performs on copies of Renaissance-style recorders—will be joined by harpsichordist Christina Edelen from Amsterdam, playing on a reproduction Renaissance virginal. Gerald Self narrates the concert, telling stories about life in the English court and explaining the music and the instruments used.
