As this year’s Artists-in-Residence, the Copperleaf Quintet will present five concerts for the Chapel’s music series. The concerts will feature Renaissance vocal chamber music and center around seasonal themes as they relate to the Chapel’s liturgical calendar.

What does the beginning of the world sound like? Come experience one of the most unique and shocking works from the baroque period, Les Élémens (The Elements) by the French composer Jean-Féry Rebel. The Abdelazer Suite (The Moor’s Revenge) by Henry Purcell may surprise you with familiar tunes such as the “Rondeau,” later used by a fellow British composer Benjamin Britten as a theme to his Young Person’s Guide to Orchestra, and the “Hornpipe” featured in the movie soundtrack to “Pride and Prejudice.” In between, Telemann’s Suite in A minor delights with its international flavors and features Principal Flute, Martha Long. Don’t miss these three gems of the baroque era!

An energizing and brassy concert featuring the Olmos Basin Brass and the Alamo City Ringers. The Olmos Basin Brass will perform early music works by composers G. Gabrieli, Susato, Monteverdi and Micheal Praetorius. Come and share an afternoon of brass artistry.

Brilliant brass fanfares and enaissance dances by G. Gabrieli, Monteverdi, T. Susato, and Michael Praetorius performed by the Olmos Basin Brass quintet. The woodwind quintet Adelante Winds also performs in this shared event.

Telemania! Flirty and saucy, or tender, heartfelt yet funny arias. Orchestral music delightfully sophisticated with brilliantly written imitations of vocal lines and stunning complimentary countermelodies. Featuring Telemann’s short comic opera Pimpinone with supertitles. Another testament to Telemann’s “new” fame as a master of Baroque counterpoint, ingenuity, and melody. TEMP core-member Meredith Ruduski (soprano) sings the role of Vespetta and New York’s Peter Walker (baritone) portrays Pimpinone, set in current times and fully staged. Also, featuring Marcus McGuff (flute).
